The Trainer also confirmed for us that Gia needs to complete the two remaining steps before she can be cleared to participate in FH games again.
We have a 3-game week coming up this week (M-W-F). Gia will miss the two first games, as she has to complete her remaining concussion protocol steps at practice on Tuesday and Thursday. If all goes well, Gia will be able to play in our 5pm HOME game on Friday 5/8.
Timeline for Gia To Complete Concussion Protocol (week of Mon 5/4 - Fri 5/8)
Gia will complete STEP 3 “sport specific non-contact drills for 45-60min” at Tues 5/5 practice.
Gia will complete STEP 4 “participate in a full practice without restrictions” at Thurs 5/7 practice.
If all goes well, Gia will be clearedto return to full participation in FH games without restriction in time for our 5pm HOME game on Friday 5/8.
IMPORTANT: Please let us know if Gia plans to be on the sideline with the team at our 5pm HOME game on Monday and/or our 5pm AWAY game at Hilton on Wednesday. It is optional for her to attend these games since she will not yet be cleared to play. However, we need to know in advance if she plans to be on the sideline at these games.
