Basketball Manitoba is pleased to announce it has redeveloped its concussion awareness and education website to better share the important topic of preventing and treating a concussion sustained in the sport. The content has been updated and comes from a number of different sources including Parachute Canada, Sport Manitoba, Canada Basketball and the Sport Medicine & Science Council of Manitoba.
The site focusses on the 6 "R's" of dealing with a concussion...- Reduce

Since a concussion can be sustained at any time, it is strongly advised that ALL players, coaches, officials and parents review this information to be better prepared to reduce the overall number of concussions in basketball and the best way to return from one.
