This Week: August 29- September 4

 

What a fun night of football! It was so wonderful to see you all and to see our boys on the field again! It is always amazing to me to look back to our first games as we reach the end of the season to truly see how much our team has grown. God is working. God is stretching these boys in big ways. God is unifying them as a team. God is strengthening them as they continue to train and learn. God is using great men (our coaches!) to pour into our boys each week! We have so very much to be thankful for!

Thank you to the moms that came out and prayed before the game this week. It was such a blessing to be with you and cover our team in prayer together. Please continue to pray with us that the Lord would use this game that we call football for His glory. He is so faithful!

Baseline Concussion Testing

 A note from our head athletic trainer:

Please make sure your player has completed this task

It is the time of year to do concussion baseline testing. This is a simple test that can be done on the athletes' phones or tablets once they download the Sway Medical app. Baseline tests are completed once a year to establish a "normal" range for each athlete to be compared to in the event that they sustain a hit to the head and need to be evaluated. This year, the boys are responsible for taking their baseline test on their own, outside of practice time. Please help the coaches and athletic trainer communicate to them the importance of selecting a quiet place to test and staying focused during the test. A good baseline test could potentially be the difference between receiving a proper diagnosis to keep all the boys as safe as possible during this season. All grades must complete this test by Thursday, August 26th. To take the baseline test, the boys need to download the Sway Medical app onto their phones. Once they download and open the app, they need to follow the directions listed below:

1. Select "Enter Code" at the bottom of the login page. The code is 69127.
2. Enter their name. Click "Next: Basic Information"
3. Enter information requested. Click "Next: Education Information"
4. Enter information requested. Click "Next: Medical Information"
   
5. Answer the two questions asked.
6. Choose to create an account. Use an email that you check regularly and a password that you will remember. 
7. Choose "Complete"
8. Choose test number one "Symptoms Only". Follow the directions displayed and start the test. 
9. Once completed with test number one, move to test number two, and follow directions. Repeat until all 6 tests are completed. 
10. There is currently no need to complete the COVID-19 test. Once they reach this point, they can close the app and be done. 

Please note that test scores will be reviewed and need to be taken seriously. If an athlete receives a score on any test that is outside of normal ranges, they will be asked to take that particular test again. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. This is such a great tool that we are blessed enough to have access to in order to help keep our boys safe.
