Tsunami Sports & Recreation recognizes that participation in any sport or physical activity bears some inherent risk of head injuries and concussions. Tsunami Sports & Recreation is fully committed to maintaining the health and safety of its members, and recognizes that short-and long-term consequences of concussions pose a significant public health issue.
This Policy applies at all times wherever a Tsunami Volleyball activity takes place. This Policy document focuses primarily on Prevention and Surveillance of concussions, and supplements the Concussion Protocol, which covers the areas of Awareness, Detection, and Management.
Prevention strategies include:
- Limiting contact during practice and games, particularly for younger participants.
- Modifying rules to limit the use of certain drills or techniques to reduce the risk of head injury.
- Ensuring that equipment fits well, is in good condition, is stored properly, and is replaced according to manufacturers’ instructions.
- Ensuring fair play and respect for opponents are ethical values that are instilled in all sport, recreation and physical activities carried out by the organization.
Any Tsunami Volleyball Event Coordinator, Organizer, or Host are designates for the removal of participants who show signs or symptoms of a concussion.
Tsunami Sports & Recreation will make concussion resources available to all members, including this Policy and the Concussion Protocol.
