3. Injury Disclaimer
PTAA is not responsible for monitoring the health or injury status of your child. PTAA is not responsible for any injuries incurred by your child during his or her participation in PTAA activities. As a parent, if you think your child (defined herein as under 18 years of age) may have an injury, preexisting or otherwise, you should: 1. Remove your child from play. 2. Keep your child out of play on the day of the injury. Your child should be seen by a healthcare provider and only return to play with permission from a healthcare provider who is experienced in evaluating injuries. 3. Ask your child’s healthcare provider for written instructions on helping your child return to play. You can give the return-to-play instructions to your child’s coach. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. Only a healthcare provider should assess a child for a possible severe injury. You may not know how serious the injury is at first, and some symptoms may not show up for hours or days. A child’s return to sports should be a gradual process that is carefully managed and monitored by a healthcare provider.
