• Students are advised that participation in the Intramural Sports Program involves physical risk.
Participation in Intramural Sports is a privilege, not a right; and is strictly voluntary.
• Despite efforts to provide a reasonably safe playing environment, some Intramural participants
are apt to be injured. Participants, coaches, and spectators are advised to take protective
measures when participating in or watching an Intramural event.
• Baylor University does not provide insurance for students who are involved in extracurricular
activities, such as Intramural events. The Department of Campus Recreation strongly
recommends that all Intramural participants obtain adequate medical insurance coverage prior
to participation.

WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?
A concussion is a brain injury that may be caused by a blow to the head, face, neck or elsewhere on the body with an
“impulsive” force transmitted to the head. Concussions can also result from hitting a hard surface such as the ground, ice
or floor, from players colliding with each other or being hit by a piece of equipment such as a bat, lacrosse stick, or ball.
