A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that can be 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. All concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged brain injury and possible death (second impact syndrome) if not recognized and managed properly.

It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion (see chart below) in order to provide quality medical care for the athlete. Athletes diagnosed with a concussion are required to complete a progressive return-to-play protocol (lasting a minimum of seven days) under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider. This protocol is required by California state law to ensure that a concussed athlete does not return to participation before his/her concussion symptoms have resolved. Returning to sport too soon can place the athlete at risk for further brain injury or even death. Athletes who have been diagnosed with a concussion are at a higher risk for a second concussion in which the signs and symptoms of concussion can be more severe and last longer.

Signs and Symptoms of a Concussion 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

A sudden cardiac event can happen to a youth athlete resulting in cardiac arrest or even death. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. This can occur with or without prior symptoms. The most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest in youth athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is a rare congenital heart condition in which the heart muscle is enlarged and suddenly stops beating during exercise.

In the event of a cardiac event, the TSC certified athletic trainers will provide emergency medical care including performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, apply an automated external defibrillator, and call for emergency medical services. Staff certified athletic trainers are required to maintain their CPR/AED certification through the American Heart Association. Emergency action plans are in place for all venues and are reviewed by the TSC medical staff and venue security personnel prior to each event.

California Youth Sports Health and Safety Code (CA Code, Health and Safety Code, 2023) requires the following actions if an athlete is suspected of sustaining a concussion or of having a cardiac event:

1. An athlete who is suspected of having a concussion or who has passed out or fainted will be immediately evaluated by a TSC certified athletic trainer and removed from participation for the remainder of the day.

2. If an athlete exhibits signs and symptoms of a possible concussion or of a possible cardiac event, emergency care will be immediately provided by a TSC certified athletic trainer. The parent will be immediately notified and provided with the mechanism of injury, the time/date of the injury, the signs and symptoms that the athlete exhibited, and the treatment provided.

3. An athlete suspected of a cardiac event will be required to be examined by a licensed healthcare provider and will not be permitted to return to athletic activity until the athlete has a written clearance from a licensed healthcare provider.

4. If an athlete is diagnosed with a concussion by a licensed healthcare provider, California state law requires that the athlete complete a minimum of a seven-day progressive concussion return-to-play protocol under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. A concussion return-to-play protocol for cheer/dance athletes will be provided to the athlete, the athlete's parent, and the athlete's coach by a TSC medical staff.
