ImPACT Testing for Youth Athletes
In conjunction with the MSCA Spring Coaching Clinic, we are excited to offer free concussion baseline testing (ImPACT) for youth athletes at least 11 years-of-age. The testing will be overseen by Rachel Winthrop from theBethesda Concussion Clinic in St. Paul. "The Concussion Clinic uses an innovative concussion management program for athletes or individuals who are at risk for a concussion. The program is called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) and involves an online exam that each athlete takes prior to the athletic season."
Each athlete will work at his/her own pace to complete the test. We have set aside 60 minutes for each group, but most individuals will finish in 30-45 minutes. If you are interested, please email us at minnesotasoccer@gmail.comand include "Concussion Testing" in the subject line and let us know your preferred time slot. We will respond to your email with confirmation and more details. There is no fee for the testing, but pre-registration is required.
We will schedule players based upon a first-come, first-served basis. We expect the space to fill quickly, so please email us asap to ensure your inclusion. We will keep our website updated with space availability. Here are the scheduled time slots: 9:30am-10:30am, 10:30am-11:30am, 11:30am-12:30pm and 12:30pm-1:30pm.
