Welcome to Mosman Junior Rugby Club
Dear Players and Families,
We would like to remind all Mosman Junior Rugby Club members about our concussion management procedures and reinforce our commitment to player safety. As with all contact sport, Rugby carries inherent risks including the possible risk of concussion. As part of our duty of care to MJRC players and families, it is important that we highlight these inherent risks and the MJRC processes in place to support player wellbeing throughout the season.
Mosman Rugby adheres to the Rugby Rugby Australia Concussion Management Procedure. If a player is suspected of having received a head knock during a game:
A Rugby AU CONCUSSION REFERRAL AND RETURN FORM will need to be completed by the medical professional within 24 hours of receiving a Blue Card, completed again at 14 days for graduated return to play and then again at 21 days for resumption of full contact.
This form must be returned at each timing juncture to both the player’s AGCs and either Minis Coordinator or Juniors Coordinator to ensure that MJRC signs off on players returning to play and accommodates any training limitations during that time. Your player’s AGC and either Minis Coordinator or Juniors Coordinator will guide the families through a structured return-to-play program.
Important points to note:
The Rugby Australia Concussion Protocol includes:
1. Initial Injury
2. Days 0–14
3. Day 14
4. Day 21
Your cooperation and understanding are vital in ensuring the health and safety of all players. If you have any questions regarding concussion management at Mosman Rugby, please reach out to the Juniors Coordinator (Jess Apfel), Minis Coordinator (Hannah Griffiths) or your Age Group Coordinator.
We look forward to a safe, exciting, and successful season of rugby ahead!
Kind Regards,
Mosman Rugby Club Committee
May 2025.
