Concussion Information
Due to the tragic death of a student-athlete Jake Snakenburg, from the effects of a concussion, the State of Colorado has passed a law requiring all coaches to hold a student out of the sport if concussion symptoms are present. CHSAA requires all coaches to take a concussion course. The state requires coaches to err on the side of caution, but they do not allow coaches to diagnose. Per state law, your student-athlete cannot return to play until cleared by a healthcare provider.
- An athlete can’t begin a return to play without a doctor's clearance first (form).
- Please follow these graduated return to play guidelines.
- The coach with the athletic director will determine when a student has met the BVSD guidelines for their return to play.
We want you to know that we take our job to care for the health and well-being of your student-athlete seriously.
