A concussion is an injury to the brain resulting from an impact to the head. Concussions are a risk for any athlete, including those participating in spirit activities due to the nature of the activity – often involving height, inversion and rotation of the body as well as physical interaction and contact with other team members.
USA Cheer has partnered with like-minded organizations and experts to provide education and resources to help raise awareness about concussions and to provide guidance on the management of concussions.
