CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT

Our Club takes every precaution to ensure our Coaches and Team Managers are adequately trained to ensure the health and safety of all participants who play AFL, following the guidelines outlined by both the SMJFL and the AFL.

​

Following the release of the updated concussion guidelines for AFL / AFLW, the AFL Concussion Guidelines have now been finalised for Australian Football at all levels outside the AFL / AFLW competitions.   

​

The guidelines have been developed to assist community football leagues, clubs, players, parents, coaches, trainers & other stakeholders on how to assess and manage any player who has suffered concussion or is suspected of having a concussion.

​

These guidelines will continue to evolve as new evidence is made available to ensure best practice.
