Return to Learn, Work and Play
During this stand-down period, athletes must complete the Graduated Return to Learn/Work and the Return to Play (GRTP) process. These processes are based on international best practice to help athletes recover and get back to school/work and sport.
An athlete should not go back to sports until they are back to school or work without symptoms getting significantly worse and no longer needing any changes in their schedule.
