In our program, player safety is our number one priority.  Each coach goes through a certification process and we emphasize proper fundamentals and techniques.  In addition, we have affiliated with INOVA Sports Medicine to provide education about concussions and baseline testing.  INOVA offers a brief online course to educate parents and players about how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion, strategies to reduce the risks, and how to properly treat a concussion.  We encourage each family to review this course.  You can go to the following link and take the course after creating an account for your family.

As part of our agreement with INOVA, it also offers concussion baseline testing for athletes age 5 and up at a cost of $30.00.  The link below provides information on the baseline testing.   There is a baseline testing session this Saturday, September 16 (see second link below).  You can also schedule a baseline test by contacting the INOVA Sports Medicine at 703-970-6427.

If you have any questions please let me know.
