Report Concussion Policy Presentation

On Sunday 20th June the IT, Tournament, Umpire, Medical & Anti-Doping, Coaches, Athletes, Audit, Risk & Compliance, Women’s and Communications Committees were all invited to a presentation of the ITF Concussion Policy by Master Philip Lear and Mr Kirk Lee.

The policy has been almost 2 years in the making and is the foundation to ensure a safer competing environment for our athletes during and also after our major championships for those affected by concussion.

The presentation lasted for 90 minutes and at the end there were a few questions regarding the implementation of the policy and the next steps forwards. The policy is planned to be used for the first time at the European Championships later this year.”
