Spring 2024-25 Baseline Concussion Testing Information
As a precautionary measure, baseline concussion testing is required to participate in SCASD athletics. Student-athletes will not be able to participate in the first day of practices/tryouts unless this is completed. Each athlete completes the baseline test every two years.
Who needs a test?
If you did not take a test last year, you will need a test this year. This makes it so that 7th, 9th, and 11th graders are the majority of the athletes who end up needing a test. If an athlete sustained a concussion in the previous academic year/season, they will need a new baseline test regardless of when they last took it. If you took a baseline test for a fall sport this year, you do not need to take a test again for your spring sport (unless you sustained a concussion in the fall and/or winter)! If you are unsure if you need a test, please refer to the flowchart below. If you are still unsure, please reach out to your Athletic Trainer!
Winter sports that require a test:
- Baseball: JV/V
- Softball: Middle School/JV/V
- Boys Volleyball: JV/V
- Lacrosse: Girls/Boys JV/V
- Field Hockey: Middle School
- Pole Vaulters
- Ice Hockey and Rugby athletes are welcome to attend baseline concussion testing but it is not required through SCASD Athletic Training
Where and when will testing be held?
Testing will be held in Room F112 of the High School (South Building). Please enter through door #8, which is located on the side of the building that is closest to Weis, facing O’Bryan Lane. All sessions are from 4-5:30pm, see dates below. Please allow ~30 minutes for testing. Testing is drop-in, no appointment is required. If able, please have students bring their Chrome Book to testing, as we have a limited number of computers available at a time.
