Many of you will be aware of the heightened attention being given to concussion and brain trauma at AFL level. The VAFA, in the interests of players ongoing health, have adopted recommendations emanating from brain trauma specialists. As a broader club (committee, coaches, trainers and players), we must educate ourselves to understand the guidelines and better appreciate the importance of proper recovery practices in brain trauma.
To assist with this education the following artefacts have been produced and can be found at any time within our club Policies section.
- Four Stage Graded Return to Play
- CRT6
- Medical Clearance Form
- VAFA Concussion Reporting Policy (Point of Contact – Head Trainer Jen Han – 0466 323 316)
- Concussion Paper (Australian Football)
