Non-Urgent Injuries:
Any injuries (including concussions) sustained during the tournament should be assessed by one of the onsite attendees, and an injury report should be completed by the field supervisor. Any injury that resulted in an athlete’s removal from the play will require reassessment before a decision regarding return-to-play is allowed. An athlete’s return-to-play will not be a coach’s decision.
Weather or Safety Emergency:
In the event of a safety or weather emergency players, coaches and team personnel should proceed immediately to team vehicles and remove themselves from danger by staying inside with doors and windows closed and away from the sides of the vehicle. Coaches should take role call and ensure all players are accounted for and safe. Coaches should await further instruction either in person or via cell from the field supervisor or convenor before leaving the safe area of the team vehicle with team members. When considering resumption for athletic activity we must wait 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning or sound of thunder before returning to the field and resuming play
