Concussion Policy
Any LeKickball Missoula participant suspected of having sustained a concussion or traumatic head injury must be removed immediately from participation. The participant will be prohibited from further participation until evaluated and cleared in writing to resume participation in LeKickball Missoula activities by a qualified healthcare provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussive head injuries.
A written incident report must be completed with the City of Missoula Parks and Recreation department within 72 hours of the incident.
Information About Concussions
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. Doctors may describe a concussion as a “mild” brain injury because concussions are usually not life-threatening. Even so, their effects can be serious.
Risk of Continued Participation
A repeat concussion that occurs before the brain recovers from the first—usually within a short period of time (hours, days, or weeks)—can slow recovery or increase the likelihood of having long-term problems. In rare cases, repeat concussions can result in edema (brain swelling), permanent brain damage, and even death.
