Concussion Baseline Testing
MVRHS is proud to have one of the best concussion management programs in not only the State of Massachusetts, but in the country: A key in ingredient to this program is the knowledge and experience that our athletic trainer and school nurse bring to the program. In addition, a very useful tool is the neurocognitive testing program we employ for each athlete who competes in athletics. Every student athlete will be required to take a baseline neurocognitive test which they will take on their cell phone. This will allow our athletic trainer to have a baseline neurocognitive assessment of your child. It is our hope your child never receives a concussion, however, if they were, this baseline will help us insure that they don’t return to activity prior to full recovery. Every year all athletes will be required to take the baseline test. Our athletic trainer will coordinate with the coaching staff to schedule the test for each team. If injured, the neurocognitive testing will be one of the tools used to assist in the management of the injury.
Pre-participation physicals
Each year every student-athlete is required to have a current physical on file with the school nurse. Each year every student athlete is required to have a current physical on file with the school. Physicals are good for 13 months. It would be a good idea to record the date your child gets their physical so the next year you will know when it will be required. When you register via familyID if your child’s physical has expired or will expire during the season, you will be notified via email from familyID once your child’s registration has confirmed. Confirmation of registration may take a couple days after you submit your registration. Note that registration closes a few day prior to the start of practice to allow the athletic department staff to get everyone cleared prior to the first day of practice. If you do not get your child registered before the first practice, late registration will open the night after the first practice, you can register them then. No athlete can participate until they are registered and cleared by our medical team.
