Concussion Recognition and
Management
 A concussion is a brain injury that results in a
temporary disruption of normal brain function A concussion occurs when the brain is violently
rocked back and forth or twisted inside the skull as a
result of a blow to the head or body Only 3.2 percent of all concussed athletes lost
consciousness during the 2009 football season Neither officials, nor coaches, are expected to
“diagnose” a concussion, as that is the job of an
appropriate health-care professional Officials, coaches and administrators are being asked
to make all efforts to ensure that concussed athletes
do not continue to participate-
Concussion Recognition and
Management
 The game official is not responsible for the sideline
evaluation or management of the athlete after he or
she is removed from play If an appropriate health-care professional on the
sideline determines that the athlete HAS NOT
suffered a concussion, the athlete may return to play If there is no appropriate health-care professional
available to evaluate the athlete, the athlete SHOULD
NOT be allowed by the coach to return to play Athletes with continued concussion symptoms are at
significant risk for recurrent, cumulative and even
catastrophic consequences of a second concussive
injury-
Sportsmanship and Public
Address Announcers
SPORTSMANSHIP
• Players, coaches, officials, cheerleaders,
game announcers, students and spectators
all play a vital role in the promotion of good
sportsmanship• It is essential that all individuals involved
understand that the playing field is an
extension of the classroom• Acts that are intended to engender ill will
toward individuals, have no place in the
educational activities-

PUBLIC ADDRESS ANNOUNCERS
Contributes in a major way to the atmosphere
for the eventShould never be an advocate from behind the
microphoneUse proper language at all timesNever criticize players, coaches or officialsShould not attempt to be bigger than the
game or event by doing play-by-play or by
providing commentary-
NFHS
Football Officials Manual
Communication Between Officials and Head Coach
• Communication between officials and the head coach
is a key to a smoothly run contest• All communication between the two parties should be
professional and to the point• Head coaches who want to officiate rather than coach
should be dealt with swiftly and in a firm mannerEnforcement of Uniform Adornment Rules
• Both the head coach and the officials are responsible
for enforcement of the uniform adornment rules and
those rules must be enforced consistently in order to
prevent problems from developing with player safety
or sportsmanship-

Enforcing that Legal Equipment is Worn Properly
Head coaches and officials should always keep in
mind that safety comes firstRequired equipment is mandated for the well-being of
the playersCoaches and officials must work together to make the
game as safe as possible for the athletes participating
by requiring compliance with equipment rulesOfficials have the responsibility to penalize the head
coach when players are not legally equipped and to
prohibit the players from participating until they do
become legally equipped-
Major Mechanics Changes
 Full length, black pants have been approved.
Must be worn by entire crew.
 The Back Judge and the Line Judge shall
bring approved game ball from each team to
the coin-toss if footballs are being run off both
sidelines.
