#1 of 5—Make the call

It’s the district football championship. Ethan, your top player, tackles an opposing player, and both boys go down hard. It’s near the end of the game, and the score is tied. Ethan is slow to get up, so you jog out to check on him. He doesn’t remember the hit, but he appears fine otherwise.

Should you keep Ethan out?

• Yes
  Good call! Memory loss and sluggishness are signs of a concussion. Ethan needs to be cleared by a healthcare provider before he's allowed to return. No play without okay.
• No
  Memory loss and sluggishness are signs of concussion. In this case, you should keep him out and make sure he's cleared by a healthcare provider before returning. Remember, no play without okay.
