2017-18 NFHSSOCCER POINTS OF EMPHASIS
Points of EmphasisRISK MINIMIZATION:CONCUSSIONS Concussions continue to be a focus in soccer at alllevels of competition. The NFHS has been at theforefront of national sports organizations inemphasizing the importance of concussion education,recognition and proper management. Discussion of proper concussion management at alllevels of play in all sports has led to the adoption ofrules changes and concussion-specific policies by multiple athletic organizations, state associations andschool districts.www.nfhs.org
Points of EmphasisRISK MINIMIZATION:CONCUSSIONS Coaches and game officials need to become familiarwith the signs and symptoms of con- cussed athletesso that appropriate steps can be taken to safeguardthe health and safety of participants. There continues to be concern from the NFHS SportsMedicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) about thecumulative effects of non-concussive blows to thehead and body in practice and games.www.nfhs.org
Points of EmphasisRISK MINIMIZATION:CONCUSSIONS Research data is showing that there are significantimpacts to the head when athletes are constantly"heading" the ball and in "free ball" situations wheremultiple players are positioning for control of the ball.www.nfhs.org
Points of EmphasisRISK MINIMIZATION:CONCUSSIONS When an official sees anathlete who exhibits, signs,symptoms or behaviorsconsistent with a concussion,the official shall direct theathlete to the appropriatehealth-care professional.
