Concussion Management Tracking Tool

Important information from the Government of Ontario for players, coaches, parents and club executives. 

As part of the OTA’s ongoing joint effort with the Ministry of Sport to promote athlete safety, we are distributing a new Concussion Management Tracking Tool. Although the sport of tennis is not often associated with concussions, it can happen to a person by getting hit with a ball or racquet or falling on a court or locker facility at clubs and tournament sites. The OTA believes it is important to ensure that coaches, players, their families, club executives and other related stakeholders are aware of the resources and tracking tools now available. 

The tool can be found alongside Ontario’s suite of concussion resources at this link. 

A digital or printed version of the tool can be voluntarily shared by a player (or their parent or guardian) with their school, club and/or academy, as they progress through the return to sport steps. 

The contents of this tool are based on expert concussion management guidance from Parachute’s 2nd edition Canadian Guidelines for Concussion in Sport, which is the same guidance that informs all other concussion-related materials on the Government of Ontario’s concussion portal webpages. 

Sharing an athlete’s concussion management status across the school and sport settings through the assistance of resources like the Concussion Management Tracking Tool, is one of the many ways we can collectively help make sport safer for Ontario’s athletes.
