It is Johns Creek Junior Gladiators Girls Lacrosse Club’s policy that a player will be removed from play immediately in the event that she exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion and shall return to play only after she has been cleared to resume play by an appropriate health care professional. It is the parent's or guardian's responsibility to seek medical care for a possible concussion and follow the recommendations provided by the health care professional who has examined the player. Parents or guardians should not allow their daughter to resume participation in any practice or game until they've received clearance for her to do so from a qualified health care professional.
