QV Athletes Can Schedule ImPACT Tests

Quaker Valley High School is currently scheduling ImPACT tests for student athletes in grades 9 through 12 who will be participating in the following fall sports: football, soccer, girls’ volleyball and cheerleading.  There is no charge to Quaker Valley families for this required test.

 ImPACT provides computerized neurocognitive assessment tools and services that are used by medical doctors, psychologists, athletic trainers, and other licensed healthcare professionals to assist them in determining an athlete's ability to return to play after suffering a concussion. 

A current baseline test must be on file prior to participating in participating in fall sports. Because the ImPACT test is required every two years, students who took the test last school year are not required to take it again this year.

The high school fall sports season begins on Monday, Aug. 13.

The ImPACT test must be administered through the Quaker Valley Athletic Department. The district is not able to accept tests that were conducted by another school or testing site.

ImPACT testing will be offered at on the following dates:

·      Wednesday Aug. 1:  6 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

·      Tuesday Aug. 7:  9 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.

·      Thursday, Aug. 9: 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

To register, email the student’s name and preferred date and time to Derek Clark, the Quaker Valley High School athletic trainer, at clarkd@qvsd.org. Registrants will receive a confirmation email from Clark. 

Testing will be conducted in one of the high school’s computer labs. Enter the school through the main entrance and follow the signs to the testing room.  The test takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Student athletes should arrive 5 to 10 minutes before their designated testing time.
