Study Arms (2)

Pre-game Safety Huddles

EXPERIMENTAL

Pre-game safety huddles will occur before each game and athletes and coaches will be surveyed.

Behavioral: Pre-game Safety Huddles

Control

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention will be delivered by athletes and coaches will be surveyed.

Interventions

Pre-game Safety Huddles BEHAVIORAL

Coaches will be trained to lead Pre-game Safety Huddles by the RA with the study using a multi-media tool we have developed. Huddles will be brief (1-2 minutes) and will primarily focused on 1) encouraging concussion reporting and 2) encouraging good sportsmanship
