Concussion Awareness Clinic

Shrewsbury Pop Warner is pleased to offer a new IMPACT concussion program in partnership with St.Vincent’s Hospital.

This program is designed to provide a baseline concussion
test to all athletes in contact sports. Children, 10 and above take a 20 minute test that determines a baseline for cognitive functions and awareness. This information is entered into a National Database, which is available in every state, to access as a reference and comparison after a suspected concussion.  Medical professionals can use this to determine a more accurate diagnoses and treatment procedure.

As partners with St. Vincent’s, Shrewsbury Pop Warner is
able to offer this testing to their league participants for only $10.00 per athlete!  If you are interested in having your child screened, please contact JoAnn Piefrafite at  joann.piedrafite@stvincenthospital.com or Jana Griffin-Koehler at jana.griffinkoehler@stvincenthospital.com
to schedule your test.  You must specify that you are a Pop Warner participant to be eligible for the group rate.

If you are interested in coaching football or cheerleading
this year, or if you have a child that participates in a contact sport, please plan on attending this important clinic.  We will need a head count, so please contact Kristy
Crutchfield at vicepresident@syfca.com to reserve your spot!  All Access Fitness will also be there providing important strength training information for all athletes.  We will be accepting player registration at this event!

Registration is still open for fall of 2012.  Teams are filling up fast, so please visitour website at www.shrewsburypopwarner.com  to register your child today!  Guarantee your spot on a team, and avoid
paying a $25 late fee by signing up before the June 15^th deadline!
