We've been a bit unlucky with injuries so far this season, so maybe we need discuss what happens when a player is down.
I know we have a few qualified first aiders among the coaches and the parents, so we should be covered for minor bumps.
There is a document on the WRU site about concussion, it's worth a look considering the number of head injuries we've had ( the players will enjoy the bit about no school in the first week!)
Here is the link.....

I think that as parents we really need to be confident in saying that our son isn't fit to play, even if the team are struggling for numbers. All the coaches understand that the players wellbeing must come first.
I'll be asking whether the club has any protocols in place regarding injuries, until then we must carry on using our common sense.
