Concussions received by participants in sports activities are an ongoing concern at all levels. Recent interest and research in this area has prompted reevaluations of treatment and management recommendations from the high school to the professional level. Numerous agencies and associations throughout the United States responsible for developing guidelines addressing the management of concussion in high school student-athletes have developed or revised their guidelines for concussion management.

Bandera ISD Return‐to‐Play protocol follows a stepwise process with the athlete meeting the following criteria:
The athlete is symptom free with normal activity, including ability to participate in full days of school with no return of symptoms.
Written clearance for progression to activity by a Licensed Physician trained in concussion management.
Successful completion of stepwise Return‐To‐Play progression program (5 steps) with Athletic Trainer or designated personnel.
Note - Athletic Trainer onsite has discretion to withhold full return to competition if he/she suspects any concussion related symptoms remain. Athletic Trainer onsite always has the option to refer back to the treating provider, Team Physician, or Concussion Oversight Team for further consultation.
