Redlands Unified Athletics 4Concussion Information Sheet

Adapted from the CDC and the 3rd International Conference on Concussion in Sport Document created 5/20/2010

A concussion is a brain injury and all brain injuries are serious. They are caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a blow to another part of the body with the force transmitted to the head. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain normally works. Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged brain damage and death if not recognized and managed properly. In other words, even a “ding” or a bump on the head can be serious. You can’t see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may show up right after the injury or can take hours or days to fully appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek medical attention right away. Symptoms may include one or more of the following:

• Headaches • “Pressure in head” • Nausea or vomiting • Neck pain • Balance problems or dizziness • Blurred, double, or fuzzy vision • Sensitivity to light or noise • Feeling sluggish or slowed down • Feeling foggy or groggy • Drowsiness • Change in sleep patterns

• Amnesia • “Don’t feel right” • Fatigue or low energy • Sadness • Nervousness or anxiety • Irritability • More emotional • Confusion • Concentration or memory problems

(forgetting game plays) • Repeating the same question/comment

Signs observed by teammates, parents and coaches include:

• Appears dazed • Vacant facial expression • Confused about assignment • Forgets plays • Is unsure of game, score, or opponent • Moves clumsily or displays incoordination • Answers questions slowly • Slurred speech • Shows behavior or personality changes • Can’t recall events prior to hit • Can’t recall events after hit • Seizures or convulsions • Any change in typical behavior or personality • Loses consciousness

Redlands Unified Athletics 5Concussion Information Sheet

Adapted from the CDC and the 3rd International Conference on Concussion in Sport Document created 5/20/2010

What can happen if my child keeps on playing with a concussion or returns to soon?

Athletes with the signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from play immediately. Continuing to play with the signs and symptoms of a concussion leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury. There is an increased risk of significant damage from a concussion for a period of time after that concussion occurs, particularly if the athlete suffers another concussion before completely recovering from the first one. This can lead to prolonged recovery, or even to severe brain swelling (second impact syndrome) with devastating and even fatal consequences. It is well known that adolescent or teenage athlete will often under report symptoms of injuries. And concussions are no different. As a result, education of administrators, coaches, parents and students is the key for student-athlete’s safety.

If you think your child has suffered a concussion

Any athlete even suspected of suffering a concussion should be removed from the game or practice immediately. No athlete may return to activity after an apparent head injury or concussion, regardless of how mild it seems or how quickly symptoms clear, without medical clearance. Close observation of the athlete should continue for several hours. The new CIF Bylaw 313 now requires implementation of long and well-established return to play concussion guidelines that have been recommended for several years:

“A student-athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a practice or game shall be removed from competition at that time and for the remainder of the day.”

and

“A student-athlete who has been removed may not return to play until the athlete is evaluated by a licensed heath care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussion and received written clearance to return to play from that health care provider”.

You should also inform your child’s coach if you think that your child may have a concussion Remember its better to miss one game than miss the whole season. And when in doubt, the athlete sits out.

progress reports and semester report cards. Eligibility must be reestablished for each of the four grading periods during the school year. In the event a student finds that he/she is academically ineligible to participate in co-curricular activities for the upcoming school year, he/she may request in writing that current summer school grades be used to determine eligibility for the first grading period for the upcoming school year.

d. Each student shall be entitled to petition for a one-time waiver of the eligibility requirements at the beginning of

his/her ninth [9th] grade year. The principal/designee shall determine if a waiver is to be granted; and, if granted, an academic remediation and assistance plan shall be developed to ensure continued eligibility.

REDLANDS UNIFIED ATHLETICS BUILDING CHARACTER, CLASS AND CONFIDENCE

REDLANDS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT 12 ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT

STUDENT-ATHLETE CODE OF CONDUCT Interscholastic athletic competition should demonstrate high standards of ethics and sportsmanship and promote the development of good character and other important life skills. The highest potential of sports is achieved when participants are committed to “Pursuing Victory with Honor” according to six core principles of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship (the “Six Pillars of Character…”). This Code applies to all student-athletes involved in interscholastic sports in California. I understand that, in order to participate in high school athletics, I must act in accord with the following:

TRUSTWORTHINESS 1. Trustworthiness – to be worthy of trust in all I do.

• Integrity – live up to high ideals of ethics and sportsmanship and always pursue victory with honor, do what’s right even when it’s unpopular or personally costly.

• Honesty – live and compete honorably, don’t lie, cheat, steal or engage in any other dishonest or unsportsmanlike conduct.

• Reliability – fulfill commitments; do what I say I will do; be on time to practices and games.

• Loyalty – be loyal to my school and team; put the team above my personal glory.

RESPECT 2. Respect – treat all people with respect all the

time and require the same of other student-athletes.

3. Class – live and play with class, be a good sport, be gracious in victory and accept defeat with dignity; give fallen opponents help, compliment extraordinary performance, show sincere respect in pre-and post-game rituals.

4. Disrespectful Conduct – don’t engage in disrespectful conduct of any sort including profanity, obscene gestures, offensive remarks of a sexual or racial nature, trash talking, taunting, boastful celebrations, or other actions that demean individuals or the sport.

5. Respect Officials – treat contest officials with respect, don’t complain about or argue with official calls or decisions during or after an athletic event.

RESPONSIBILITY 6. Importance of Education – be a student first

and commit to getting the best education I can. Be honest with myself about the likelihood of getting an athletic scholarship or playing on a professional level and remember that many universities will not recruit student-athletes that do not have a serious commitment to their education, the ability to succeed academically or the character to represent their institution honorably.

7. Role Modeling – remember, participation in sports is a privilege, not a right and that I am expected to represent my school, coach and teammates with honor, on and off the field. Consistently exhibit good character and conduct yourself as a positive role model. Suspension or termination of this privilege is within the sole discretion of the school administration.

8. Self-control – exercise self-control; don’t fight or show excessive displays of anger or frustration; have the strength to overcome the temptation to retaliate.

9. Healthy lifestyle – safeguard your health; don’t use any illegal or unhealthy substances including alcohol, tobacco and drugs or engage in any unhealthy techniques to gain or lose or maintain weight.

10. Integrity of the Game – protect the integrity of the game – don’t gamble. Play the game according to the rules.

FAIRNESS 11. Be fair – live up to high standards of fair play, be

open-minded; always be willing to listen and learn.

CARING 12. Concern for others – demonstrate concern for

others; never intentionally injure any player or engage in reckless behavior that might cause injury to myself or others.

13. Teammates – help promote the well being of teammates by positive counseling and encouragement or by reporting any unhealthy or dangerous conduct to coaches.

CITIZENSHIP 14. Play by the rules – maintain a thorough

knowledge of and abide by all applicable game and competition rules.

15. Spirit of rules – honor the spirit and the letter of rules; avoid temptations to gain competitive advantage through improper gamesmanship techniques that violate the highest traditions of sportsmanship.

I have read and understand the requirements of this Code of Conduct. I understand that I’m expected to perform according to this code and I understand that there may be sanctions or penalties if I do not.

Parent Code of Conduct

Parental support of our athletic team is vital, and greatly appreciated. In order to provide a positive climate for coaches and players to do their best, eliminate distractions that might negatively impact the program, model good sportsmanship, and comply with CIF Rules, we are asking for your support of the following Parental Code of Conduct. We strongly encourage your active, positive support of your child, and look forward to your attendance at the games and other sponsored activities. The concept of sportsmanship, however, must be taught, modeled and reinforced by adults. The parents/guardians of athletes must maintain self-control and demonstrate proper perspective as it relates to winning and losing. It is important to remember that an athletic contest is ONLY A GAME – NOT A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. Accordingly, we are asking all parents/guardians, and spectators who attend games to abide by the following:

• Please show respect for others by refraining from booing or shouting/yelling derogatory comments or remarks from the stands towards our opponents, coaches or officials. Personal insults or abusive, foul language will not be tolerated. Violations may result in penalties against the team and ejection of the offender.

• Parents shall not confront or seek to conference with coaches or officials during or

immediately after games, except in cases of injuries or emergency medical treatment for their child.

• Conferences with the Coach to discuss or critique their game preparation, coaching

strategy, or the status of other players will not be held. Any conference to discuss your child’s status must be scheduled with the Coach in advance.

• Other forms of behavior that are disruptive to the game or others’ enjoyment of the game

will not be allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, approaching the bench area while the game is in progress, or attempting to coach your child or direct other players during games or practice.

• Be supportive of your child’s efforts and the efforts of his/her teammates – be

encouraging rather than negative regardless of the outcome of a game.

• If there is a change of address for the student, the parent/guardian shall inform the counseling/athletic office immediately.

Division I 16 Core Classes

Division II 16 Core Classes

Divisions I and II Initial-Eligibility Requirements

For All RUSD Student-Athletes desiring to play collegiate athletics at the Division I or Division II level, it is imperative you are aware of the following eligibility requirements set forth by the NCAA Eligibility Center (web1.ncaa.org) Core Courses

NCAA Division I requires 16 core courses. NCAA Division II currently requires 14 core courses. Division II will require 16 core courses for students enrolling on or after August 1, 2013. See the charts below.

NCAA Division I will require 10 core courses to be completed prior to the seventh semester (seven of the 10 must be a combination of English, math or natural or physical science that meet the distribution requirements below). These 10 courses become "locked in" at the seventh semester and cannot be retaken for grade improvement. o Beginning August 1, 2016, it will be possible for a Division I college-bound student-athlete to still receive

athletics aid and the ability to practice with the team if he or she fails to meet the 10 course requirement, but would not be able to compete.

Test Scores Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA). The sliding scale for

those requirements is shown on Page No. 2 of this sheet. Division II requires a minimum SAT score of 820 or an ACT sum score of 68.

The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used.

The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the following four sections: English, mathematics, reading and science.

When you register for the SAT or ACT, use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 to ensure all SAT and ACT scores are reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing agency. Test scores that appear on transcripts will not be used.

Grade-Point Average Be sure to look at your high school’s List of NCAA Courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center's website

(www.eligibilitycenter.org). Only courses that appear on your school's List of NCAA Courses will be used in the calculation of the core GPA. Use the list as a guide.

Division I students enrolling full time before August 1, 2016, should use Sliding Scale A to determine eligibility to receive athletics aid, practice and competition during the first year.

Division I GPA required to receive athletics aid and practice on or after August 1, 2016, is 2.000 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on Sliding Scale B on Page No. 2 of this sheet).

Division I GPA required to be eligible for competition on or after August 1, 2016, is 2.300 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on Sliding Scale B on Page No. 2 of this sheet).

The Division II core GPA requirement is a minimum of 2.000.

Remember, the NCAA GPA is calculated using NCAA core courses only.

4 years of English. 3 years of mathematics (Algebra I

or higher).

2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of lab if offered by high school).

1 year of additional English, mathematics or natural/physical science.

2 years of social science.

4 years of additional courses (from any area above, foreign language or comparative religion/philosophy).

(2013 and after)

3 years of English. 2 years of mathematics (Algebra I or

higher).

2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of lab if offered by high school).

3 years of additional English, mathematics or natural/physical science.

2 years of social science. 4 years of additional courses (from

any area above, foreign language or comparative religion/philosophy).

By signing below I am aware that there are “Initial Eligibility Requirements” that must be met in order to

compete at the NCAA Division I & II level. More information can be found at http://web1.ncaa.org.
