We are committed to ensuring the safety of those participating in racquetball. We recognize the increased awareness of concussions and their long-term effects and believes that prevention of concussions is paramount to protecting the health and safety of participants.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Racquetball Canada Concussion Policy<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0provides guidance in identifying the common signs and symptoms of a concussion, protocol to be followed in the event of a possible concussion and knowledge of how to properly manage a concussion.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, we have a Concussion Code of Conduct<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0to ensure\u00a0all participants understand the risks\u00a0associated with concussions that must be signed by all participants.<\/p>

<\/p>

Concussions can occur while participating in racquetball.\u00a0Since the circumstances under which a concussion can be sustained are so varied, it\u2019s important for all coaches, parents, and athletes to be aware of the signs, symptoms, and what to do if a concussion occurs.<\/p>
