Norwalk is First in Connecticut to Approve Concussion Program for All Youth Sports

 

 

Mayor Harry Rilling and the Norwalk Common Council are proud to announce approval of  new concussion guidelines modeled after The Concussion Aware and Prepared Program. The guidelines will apply to organized youth sports programs utilizing Norwalk recreation facilities. In this way the guidelines are intended to plug the loophole that exists in the current Connecticut Concussion Law which protects only public middle and high school athletes who play for school-sponsored teams.  

On Thursday, February 26, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. Mayor Rilling will be joined by Katherine Snedaker, Executive Director of the non-profit, Pink Concussions.com, and advocacy organization SportsCAPP.com, Michael Mocciae, Director of Parks and Recreation and members of the Norwalk Common Council in the first floor Atrium of City Hall for a press conference to celebrate approval of these guidelines and discuss its impact on the health of children playing youth sports in Norwalk.
