“IF IN DOUBT – SIT THEM OUT” - EA Concussion Protocols EA Concussion Protocols - Implementation for all disciplines 1 July 2019
Dear EA Athletes/Parents, Coaches & Officials,
The purpose of this email to encourage all athletes/parents, coaches, officials, clubs and their members to be aware of new concussion protocols and helpful resources.
There is a growing concern in Australia and internationally about incidence of sport related concussion & potential health ramifications for athletes at all levels of sport.
With this being said, Equestrian Australia fully endorses the Concussion in Sport Australia Position Statement, which can be located HERE.
Consistent with its support for the Concussion in Sport Australia Position Statement,
Equestrian Australia will introduce a similar protocol for all equestrian disciplines
Effective July 1st 2019.
To assist with the introduction of these protocols, Equestrian Australia is undertaking education and communication programs for all stakeholders including athletes, officials, coaches, parents and guardians.
As part of this, we wish to provide all athletes/parents, coaches and officials with access to the PDF version of a presentation which may be seen presented at future events (please click on links below), highlighting:
the key points of the protocols,
the OC & Officials’ role in implementing the protocol,
how to recognise concussion and
the importance of possible concussion received in training being just as serious as concussion received in competition.
Please take the time to view the presentations and familiarise yourself with the content. Share these links with anyone you feel may benefit from this important information.
“IF IN DOUBT – SIT THEM OUT”
Kind Regards
Karen Myers
Committee Liaison Manager

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO BODY PROTECTOR STANDARDS
The original announcement of the rules change regarding PPE stated that body protectors must be to the EN13158 standard.
For clarification, this rule has been revised and now states that body protectors must be to the EN13158 or BETA Level 3 standard. This standard offers the highest level of body protection within the standard.
The Peel Sport and Recreation Network is excited to introduce our Regional Coach Development Funding Program. This program will target high performing coaches and provide them with support, in terms of Funding that can be used to up-skill both themselves and the standard of coaching across the Peel Region. Coaches will be eligible to receive up to $500 or 50% of course costs (whichever is greater) but cannot exceed the total cost of the course. Funding will be provided for approved accreditation and coaching courses as approved by the PSRN board.
