This Town Hall will bring together a panel of sports science, sport and exercise psychology, coaching science, and medical experts to discuss what best practices in return to play might look like this summer and fall.  What can coaches, parents, and players expect?  What does a safe return look like?  How do we create safe and healthy experiences for youth and scholastic sports athletes in WV?  Bring your questions and concerns to an open discussion with experts from the sports medicine and sport science fields.
