Athletes who have already turned 18 must complete the waiver on their own. CONCUSSION BASELINE TESTING State law requires that coaches and trainers remove anyone suspected of having a concussion from athletic activity of any type. To return to play, the athlete must be assessed by a medical professional trained in concussion management. For Minneapolis students, the athletic trainer at your school must be involved in the post-concussion management and your return to play protocol. One of the tools that physicians and athletic trainers utilize to assess whether someone is healthy to begin the return to play protocol is an online cognitive test called the Impact Concussion Baseline Test. Athletes take this test when the brain is healthy and alert. Following a concussion and after the athlete’s concussion symptoms have resolved, the trainer may ask you to retake the Impact Concussion Baseline Test. The trainer can then compare your post-concussion test results to your baseline test results and determine if you are still suffering any cognitive deficits. Even though your symptoms have gone away and you feel healed, your brain may still be injured. You do not want to suffer a second concussion when your brain is still healing from the first. So, the baseline test is designed to give health professionals one more tool to assess how well your brain has healed following a concussion. Who needs to take the test? Anyone who is skiing with MAST for the first time and has not taken the test for another sport during the 2025-26 school year or this Fall. You should plan on doing a baseline test every 2 years for MAST. Where can I take the test? The test will be offered at Southwest High School (they have the most capacity to help us with testing.) *Students need to bring their Chromebook to Southwest for testing* Dates offered: Tuesday, October 28 at 3:30 or 4:15 pm Wednesday, October 29 at 3:30 or 4:15 pm Monday, November 3 at 3:30 or 4:15 pm Thursday, November 5 at 3:30 or 4:15 pm Athletic Trainer: Kelsey GleichWacker ([email protected]) Directions: Location is at Southwest HS, in the College and Career Center. It’s the room adjacent to the counselors’ offices. If you come in the front entrance, go all the way to the back and left of the cafeteria. Go up the half flight of stairs, straight ahead is a room with lots of windows, go to the right of that room and immediately to the left is 3 steps.
