As BHB has done for the past several years, we are again offering Baseline Concussion Testing to our members for free. We have yet again partnered up with Unbound Physical Therapy to provide the services for our players.
Dr. Jacob Retzer has been extensively trained in the area of concussions and has been able to offer BHB a way for the players to be tested, in which the coaches will have the baseline testing scores available to them and be able to utilize these scores in real time to assess a potential concussion.
We are requesting all Peewee/12U players and older be tested at their designated times throughout next week, so the coaches have these baseline scores. This includes any individuals that have previously been tested thru Sanford or another sport as we do not have access to any of these tests. Additionally, any player tested last year through BHB will need to be tested again this season.
Please check the calendar to see when your time is scheduled. If you are unable to attend your assigned session, we ask that you try to attend another session throughout the week. A list of those days and times can be found here.
Although we hope no one in our program suffers from a concussion this season, we do hope that if one does occur, we are as prepared as possible to address it right away and help the player fully recover before returning to play.
Please be on the lookout in the coming days for another email including required forms from Dr. Retzer and information on how to access the Baseline App used for testing.
