Concussions & Athlete Safety
Idaho Inferno Soccer Club has partnered with the St. Luke’s Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic to create a concussion protocol for our club. The most important aspect of the new protocol is the preseason education. This form has concussion education that is required by state law.
Parent Concussion Information & Consent Form
Each coach will be given a medical release form. If at any time the coach suspects that one of our soccer players has sustained a concussion, they will remove the athlete from play immediately. After the practice or the game they will hand the parent/guardian the medical release form and inform them that the player will not be allowed to participate in practice or a game until the medical release form has been signed by a Doctor who is trained and comfortable in managing concussions. If a concussion is suspected, please notify the IISC Administration (executive.board@infernosc.org) so the club is aware and the protocol can be applied properly. Remember, “When in doubt, sit ’em out!”
If you suspect that you have sustained a concussion, or to schedule free concussion education for your team, please contact the St. Luke’s Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic at 208-381-2665. Additional concussion information can also be located on their website at www.stlukesonline.org/concussion.
Preventing and Reporting Child Abuse
Idaho Inferno Soccer Club has adopted a Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP) under our state association (IYSA). As such, all our coaches and board members have completed a SafeSport Trained course and are required to complete a refresher course annually. Under this policy, we are required to offer Minor Athlete Training and Parent Training each year. These training sessions are optional and they are offered to you for free from the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Parents of Minor Athletes are provided free online access to the Center’s parent course and are encouraged to take the training. You will have to create an account to access the training. Please see the link below to create your account and access the training information.
