Concussion Management - Hotspurs SC
At Hotspurs, we are innovators; we move the game forward. In the same vein, we solve issues that arise on and off the field. Too many of our players are not getting the treatment they need soon enough after a head injury. With this all-important topic becoming all too prevalent, we decided to do something about it.
Through an innovative partnership with SportGait and Legacy Medical Centers, we have developed a Concussion Care Program. This program provides peace of mind. If something occurs during the soccer season, your athlete’s injury will be managed correctly, returning your athlete to play at the right time.
Our System is Simple, choose one of our three plans at club registration (you must choose one):
Bronze: Download the SportGait app & Complete the concussion education. Any head injury will be checked on the sideline using the apps questioning system.
Silver: Includes Bronze, plus a SportGait brain physical (baseline).
Gold: Includes Silver, plus the receive a SportGait assessment from Legacy’s 3 locations who will provide medical decision and follow up assessments using the SportGait assessment to track your athlete’s recovery progress.
