What to Know Before You Enroll

3 important questions to ask before enrolling your child in a sports program

Organized sports help encourage children to stay active, teach them the importance of teamwork, and help them make friends. The benefits of a quality sports program are endless—but it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Concussions can be one of the most dangerous athletic injuries your child can suffer, yet still studies show 85% of them go completely undiagnosed. While fully preventing your child from sustaining a head injury while playing sports is not always possible, understanding your school or athletic organization’s protocol for head injuries is one step toward making sure they are protected.
