Health and Safety / Concussion Aware
ALL of our rugby grades have coaches with a SAFE RUGBY qualification and trained in using our two on-site defibulators.
ALL coaches are trained through Munster Rugby courses and are Garda vetted.
Concussion Awareness
For coaches to be considered ‘Concussion Aware’, they must:
- Complete the World Rugby online module ‘Concussion Management for the General Public’http://playerwelfare.worldrugby.org/?documentid=module&module=21
- Be aware of and follow the IRFU ‘Graduated Return to Play (GRTP)’ protocol. This protocol, which remains different to the World Rugby protocol, requires a stand down period of 23 days for players Under 20 years of age following a suspected or confirmed concussion.
The IRFU Concussion Policy and details of the GRTP are available HERE
