Navan Curling Club :: Concussion Safety Info

Concussion Safety & Rowan's Law

Concussion safety is everyone’s business. Whether you are a member of the Navan Curling Club, the parent of a child under the age of 18, a participant who is playing at the Club, or a Club Official or Coach, each must contribute to the well-being of ourselves and others. This is particularly true when it comes to playing a sport on ice where there is chance of falling and hitting your head.

The documents and links to other sources are meant to enhance concussion awareness and to promote safe practices and well-being.
