Proposed regulations to toughen concussion rules for high school athletes
Posted on Friday, March 19th, 2010 at 9:27 am
New Jersey may soon toughen the rules regarding high school athletes who have suffered from concussions.
Proposed new regulations would require all high school athletes who have suffered from a concussion to get a doctor’s approval before they are allowed to return to their sports. The new regulations come about amid increasing concern over student athletes who face serious head injuries repeatedly throughout their high school sports careers. The rules will be discussed next month by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
