The safest position to play in football, with the least amount of injuries, is either the punter or the kicker.
Stop the game and get the refs attention. Go off the pitch and get assessed by the first aider. After a concussion you should rest for a 30 days with grade 3,or 24 hours with grade 1 recent studies show sports activity after a concussion slows down recovery time.
The levels of a concussion are referrred to as Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. Grade 1: Temporary disorientation, no loss of consciousness, all symptoms clear up in less than 15 minutes. Grade 2: Temporary disorientation, no loss of consciousness, symptoms persist for 15 minutes or more. Grade 3: Any loss of consciousness, whether for seconds or minutes. There's a good article on Concussion Management in Organized Sports that explains more. See http://www.headbraininjuries.com/concussion-management-sports.
A grade 1 concussion can usually be treated with rest and continued observation alone. The person may return to sports activities that same day, but only after examination by a trained professional
Yes they should.
You can treat a concussion at home but if you suffered unconcsiousness or loss of memory you should seek emergency help immediately. If it is not serious, apply some ice to the affected area. If you have a headache only take acetaminophen since aspirin and ibuprofen tends to thin the blood.
7th going into 8th
In 7th grade you would probably be an offensive or defensive lineman.
depending on the type of concussion really and literally no it isn't you don't wanna be swung or flipped about with a grade A concussion you should seek medical help immediately and get evaluated by your doctor. maybe after your brain heals itself you can ride but not with a concussion that's not safe for overall mind, body, spirit, and health. unless you want to. but i highly recommend go to the doctor.
Return to contact sports should only occur after one week with no symptoms, both at rest and during activity, and following examination by a physician.
They will be going to the 8th grade
fullback?
Doesn't matter as long as you are good and can play the position.
