Pre-Game Safety Huddles
Before every regular season game, participating teams in league randomized to the Pre-Game Safety Huddle condition will hold brief Pre-Game Safety Huddles. Pre-Game Safety Huddles have three core components: (1) Gather (Athletes, coaches, officials, and other stakeholders come together before the start of the game); (2) Share (Opinion leaders (coaches, referees) affirm the importance of seeking care for suspected concussion, and (3) Repeat (Process is repeated before every game)
