Having your child take part on a team sport is a great opportunity.  Participating on a team sport can be part of a healthy active life.

In whatever sport you and your child choose, feel more comfortable and confident with your child’s participation as it relates to concussion risk, do your homework and ask questions of the league and its coaches about how they handle head safety. As a parent, you need to feel at ease that safety of the youth athletes is a priority.
