​INCIDENT FORM NOTES FOR TEAM MOMS

 

You MUST complete an incident form each time a child is injured during a practice, scrimmage or game. You should have copies of this form in your binder at all times in case they are needed. Depending on the severity of the injury, a doctor's note may be required for the player to return to play. These forms should be completed as soon as possible after the injury has occurred.

 

Doctor's notes are needed after ANY injury that requires a trip to the doctor: Any breaks, concussions, sprains, strains, or tears

 

A player is not allowed to return to the field under any circumstance until we receive the doctor's note!

 

Incident reports are required for all of the above, including any injury that requires the team mom to treat the player with more than TLC and a band aid. So if you have to wrap an ankle or buddy tape fingers together - write a report.

 

When in doubt about an injury, ALWAYS suggest that they seek medical attention. Never send a child home telling the parent you think they are fine…it is not your call to make. So, if a player is hurt, especially with a head injury, you should suggest medical attention and let the parent decline if they choose. Same with any other major breaks or tears and then fill out the form as such....suggested and declined.

 

This protects Linganore Youth Football because we did suggest it, but the parent decided NOT to take their child to the doctor. The decision should be the parents - NOT the team moms.
