Children who play in Pop Warner football leagues are now required to have a licensed medical professional that is trained in concussion recognition to clear them in order for them to be able to return to the playing field.

The youth football league has over 280,000 players across the nation. Young players are more susceptible to long term brain damage if they get a second concussion before the first one is healed. Therefore, if there is any chance that the child has a concussion, the proper evaluation must be done by a professional in order for the child to be be able to play again.

The Secondary School Activities Commission has put new regulations into place to make it clear whether a student athlete who suffers a concussion should be able to play again.

This new regulation will require that a student that suffers a head injury must be looked at by a doctor or healthcare professional immediately. This never used to be the case, head injuries were treated like any injury and students were usually allowed back on the playing field after suffering from a concussion.

These new guidelines say that any student that shows symptoms of a concussion such as headaches, dizziness, balance problems or confusion must be taken out of the game. If no doctor is available to examine the student, they are not allowed to go back into the competition.
