Girls Program 2014-15The DAYHA Girls Committee and Board have reviewed the 2014-2015 projected registered girls, ice availability, appropriate skill levels and association feedback. The following is the plan for the 2014-2015 season:

•8u – Maintain a Delano 8u team. Please recruit your friends, neighbors and siblings as we can always use more. The future of the program starts with the 8u level! •10u – Maintain a Delano 10u B team. Our projections will be less than last year, so we encourage each of you to recruit friends, neighbors and siblings.•12u – Co-op with Mound/Westonka at the A and B levels within the D3 league. Ice time will be split between DASA, Pond and Thaler (40-60)•14u – Co-op with Buffalo at the A1 (D3) and A2 (D5) levels. Ice time will be split between DASA and Buffalo (30-70).

Safe SportLocker Room Policy• Must be supervised at all times• No 1vs1 locker room attendant and player• No cell phones in locker rooms• Safe Sport certification• Safe Sport Handbook is the required guide

for all misconduct grievances

What is Pre-concussion testing• Pre-concussion or baseline

testing is a computer test administered by a health professional (Athletic trainer) to assess an athletes balance, and brain function.

• It measures learning and memory skills, ability to pay attention or concentrate, and how quickly the student can solve problems.

• The ImPACT test is used by the Delano school district for all children in grades 7-12 who participate in contact sports for the school.

Image C is a scan of a normal student athlete before a concussion. Image B is the image of is student athlete that has suffered a concussionHadfield, J. (2008, March 13). Baylor research team captures first pictures of post-concussion brain swelling.

Pre Concussion Testing… highly recommended!

• When – Oct. 20th and 22nd

• Who – Delano Student Athletes, Squirt/10u and above

• Where – Delano Middle School, Computer Lab

• Administration – Delano Ridgeview Clinic will donate the health professional to administer the test

• Costs - $5.00 to take the baseline testIf a concussion is suspected the post concussion test is $50.00, which includes an assessment by a concussion specialist which is often paid for by health insurance.
