Cruisers Sports is fully committed to the health and safety of its members. No athlete is more important than any other, and as such, concussion safety is so much more than a legal obligation. At first sight of concussion signs, a coach will pause activity immediately, and pull the athlete to the side to undergo a concussion assessment. If the athlete shows symptoms evident of a concussion, the athlete will be pulled from all aspect of Sport until they recieve medical clearance to participate.

For more information on our Concussion Code of Conduct, our Removal from Sport or Return to Sport protocols, please view the resources below, or talk with your Sport Director, or our Safe Sport Co-ordinator.

Mandatory Rowan's Law Resources

These age-specific resources from the province need to be reviewed at, or before, registration. If you are under 26 at the time of registration, this is required EVERY YEAR. Parents/guardians, please review them with your youth and make sure they fully understand them. You are required to read or watch one of the resources for your age group -- pick which best suits your learning style.

Concussion Code of Conduct

The Rowan’s Law Concussion Code of Conduct requirements came into effect on July 1, 2019. After that date, sport organizations must require that athletes under 26 years of age, as well as their parent (for athletes under 18), coaches and team trainers confirm that they have reviewed the sport organization’s Concussion Code of Conduct every year before:

• registering in a sport activity within the sport organization
• serving with the sport organization

Please view the appropriate Code below.
Note: the Coaches & Trainers Code applies to all other support staff that participate on game day, practices, etc. Talk to your Sport Director if you are not sure.
