Please remember that your child could suffer a
serious injury at anytime.
If your child does become injured and I deem it
necessary for him to see a physician or you take
him to see a physician, I cannot legally, or
ethically, allow him to return to play without a
licensed medical provider.
◦ Communication is very important in your child’s health

Unfortunately, I cannot accept a letter from mom
or dad stating it is okay for your child to play,
unless of course you are a physician.
Must be cleared by a licensed medical provider


NO ATHLETE SUSPECTED OF HAVING A CONCUSSION IS
PERMITTED TO RETURN TO PLAY THE SAME DAY AND NO
ATHLETE IS PERMITTED TO RETURN TO PLAY WHILE
SYMPTOMATIC FOLLOWING A CONCUSSION.
This protocol allows for a gradual increase in the amount and
intensity of activity during the return to play process following a
concussion or head injury. The athlete is monitored for any
concussion-like signs and symptoms during and after each
exertional activity. IF AT ANY POINT DURING THIS PROCESS THE
ATHLETE BECOMES SYMPTOMATIC, THE ATHLETE SHOULD STOP
THE EXERTION AND BE RE-ASSESSED DAILY UNTIL
ASYMPTOMATIC. ONCE ASYMPTOMATIC, THE ATHLETE SHOULD
BEGIN THE RTP PROTOCOL FROM STEP 1 AGAIN.
The athlete should be monitored daily by the athletic trainer until
asymptomatic and throughout the return to play process. There
should be approximately 24 hours (or longer) allowed for each
stage without return of any signs or symptoms prior to moving
forward to the next stage.
RETURN TO PLAY STAGES:
 Rest until asymptomatic (physical & mental
rest)
 Light aerobic exercise (e.g. stationary cycle,
weight training without Olympic lifts)
 Moderate aerobic exercise (i.e. jogging,
weight training with Olympic lifts, etc.)
 Sport-specific exercise
 Non-contact training drills
 Full contact training
 Return to competition

A parent should realize that he/she is taking
everything too seriously and has not released their
child to the activity when:
◦ They are trying to continue to coach their child when the
athlete probably knows more about the activity than they do.
◦ They are nervous before the child’s game
◦ Have a difficult time bouncing back after their child’s team
suffers a defeat.
◦ Makes mental notes during a game so they can give their child
advice at the conclusion of the game
◦ Becomes verbally critical of an official or coach.
◦

I understand the Belgrade High School Coaching Staff
will take all reasonable precautions to insure that the risk of
injury to their athletes is minimized. However, even though
these precautions are taken, there is still a chance of injury
and death. I have been informed of these risks, understand
them and feel that the benefits of participation outweigh the
risks involved. My signature below gives my child permission
to participate in a Belgrade High School Activity.
(Copied from the form in the booklet)
MUST BE COMPLETE
IN ORDER TO COMPETE
Probably the hardest thing a coach has to do
is to finalize his/her team.
 They understand, that many times, the
players involved have dedicated endless hours,
even years, to their development.
 Then it becomes the opinion of the coaching
staff as to who they will keep on their team.

Coaches weigh many factors in their decision
and it is not always based on skill alone.
◦ Attitude
◦ Dedication
◦ Hustle
◦ Team chemistry
 All are contributing factors
Will hear more about this in your team
meetings!


If the players and parents desire a conference
regarding their child following the finalization
of teams, we as an athletic staff would be more
than happy to accommodate you.
Please contact the Coach or the Activities office
to set an appointment.
◦ Activities Office 924-2551
◦ rphillips@belgradeschools.com

Please address any concerns with the person you have
a concern with first. If you feel uncomfortable with
that, talk with their superior and arrange a conference
with all parties involved.
◦ Always wait 24 hours before talking with the person.
◦ Please do not talk to them on the field, course or court after a
contest.

I believe in our coaches and expect them to be
professional in all aspects of their duties.
If you are coming to Belgrade from outside
the district, please stop by the activities office.
