VHSL guidelines for concussions. Please take a minute to read this as it is important that we all know the correct procedures

Here is a fun little link that shows some strange situations and how to handle them:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/series/you-are-the-ref

All Varsity: 40 minute halves plus two 5 minutes OT’s if needed

JV’s : 30 minute halves with NO OT’s

Middle School’s: 25 Minutes halves plus a 10 minute extra period (Roanoke County, Botetourt), or 30 minutes halves (Roanoke City)

Private Schools Sub Varsity: 30 Minute halves.

All RVSOA serviced VHSL games will have an 8 goal mercy rule. End the game when:

JV-8 goal lead with 15 minutes (or less) left in game

V-8 goal lead with 20 minutes (or less) left in game.

This applies to all regular season and some playoff games (not state games)

Please remember to talk to the coaches before your games and collect rosters as needed and make sure they have their badge. This message came from Roanoke County as they are having some issues with coaches not wearing the badges:

This is a reminder that all teams should have at least one coach on the sidelines during practice and games with a visible ID Badge. We’ve gotten several calls that coaches are not wearing their Badge. Please take this as your last warning, if we continue to get reports of coaches not wearing their ID Badge we may take more severe action. This program has been set up to ensure parents that their child’s coach/es has passed a background check and hopefully will give them some peace of mind with whom they are entrusting their children with.
