Rugby Canada's Concussion Policy sets these registration requirements:
- Registered participants under 26 must confirm in writing or electronically that they reviewed concussion awareness resources within the past 12 months, and must sign the Concussion Code of Conduct.
- For athletes under 18 (all U16 to U18 players), a parent or guardian must also confirm they reviewed the resources and sign the Code.
- Athlete support personnel, which includes coaches, must also confirm they reviewed the resources and sign the Concussion Code of Conduct, unless they will work only with athletes aged 26 or older.
- Coaches also sign Part B of the Code, which includes a commitment to give athletes opportunities before and after each training to raise concussion concerns.
