RETURN TO PRACTICE/PLAY
If your son/daughter suffers an injury during a high school sponsored practice/game that requires evaluation by a licensed physician, it is necessary to obtain a signed written note to clarify what the diagnosis was, the status on return to practice/play, and any treatment that the physician wants the Certified Athletic Trainers to follow. This is necessary for any visits to a licensed physician, including dentists, family physicians, dermatologists, etc. It is best to follow the rule to always obtain a signed written release whenever you see a physician. An example of this would be if your son/daughter sees a physical therapist, massage therapist or chiropractor and they are withheld from participation for any reason, they will need to secure a written release from a licensed physician (MD) before they can return to any level ofparticipation.
