Concussions are one of the most common injuries in sports and recreation, with 1.6 to 3.8 million instances per year in the United States alone. In the field of campus recreation, the question is not ‘if’ a concussion is going to occur, but ‘when’.

Recreation departments can no longer take a hands-off approach, expecting participants to take care of themselves. Class-action lawsuits like those against the NCAA and NFL, along with laws that have been passed across North America (e.g. Rowan’s Law in Ontario), have made it clear that those who offer sporting activities need to have a plan in place to appropriately handle concussions

Course Goal

This online course will help you understand concussions, assemble a concussion care team and develop a concussion plan for your department.  Special attention will be paid to the development of a concussion training plan i.e. concussion education & awareness; how to recognize potential concussions; and what to do if an injury is suspected.  We’ll also highlight the importance of having good concussion protocols in place.

Course Description

The SportRisk ‘Concussion Management’ course will help campus recreation professionals create a concussion plan for their department that includes education, recognition & response, and criteria for return to participation.

The ‘Concussions Training Package’ developed by SportRisk has been a great online training tool for our recreation participants and staff.

The material presented in the animated videos is easy to follow and highly engaging. Administration of the training package is easy – it’s all done online.

One of the great features for us is the ‘tracking tool’ which records to a spreadsheet each participant’s completion of the training, which in our fast paced environment is key.  This training package has been a great addition to our staff orientation. We also appreciate institutional support and endorsement of the training package through Risk Manager Merv Dahl!
