Guardian Caps
LOHS Football utilizes Guardian Caps to maximize safety during contact practices. While we currently do not have enough for the entire team, they are available to any player upon request.
Concussion Protocols
We follow strict return-to-play protocols for any suspected head injuries. If a player is evaluated and suspected of having a concussion, they are immediately removed from play and must be cleared by a medical professional before returning to practice.
