87.993 Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injuries in Youth:
MSSNY will continue to advocate for the immediate removal from play/practice of any youth suspected of having a concussion or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and also that any youth suspected of sustaining a concussion or traumatic brain injury need written approval by a physician before they can return to play or practice. MSSNY will continue to promote adoption of this policy within school settings and organized youth sports programs and support educational efforts to improve understanding of concussion and traumatic brain injuries in youth among coaches, trainers, athletes, school officials, parents and legal guardians.
