The philosophy of the Department of Athletics, as espoused by the Athletics Director and the entire coaching staff, is to foster mutual respect among participants, instill a commitment to excellence within each athlete and to promote team unity, cooperation and self-discipline. Further, individual athletes are encouraged to become the finest athlete possible, learning life-long team-building skills and how to discern the appropriate value of sports.
OLP remains at the forefront of athletic recognition with annually over 500 student athletes across 20 competitive
CIF interscholastic athletic
programs, alongside 4 Club Sports teams, with scaled levels of participation within each sport.

Concussion Protocol
Concussion Protocol
OLP is committed to ensuring the safety of all student athletes. As such, all OLP coaches receive training on concussions in alignment with California law. In addition, on a yearly basis, a concussion and head injury information sheet shall be signed and returned by all student athlete's and the athlete's parent/guardian
before the athlete's initiating practice or competition.
Nationwide data continues to show that many catastrophic head injuries are a direct result of injured athletes returning to play too soon, not having fully recovered from the first head injury.  Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control reports that approximately 3 million sports and recreational concussion occur every year. Below are documents from the CIF Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) that provide helpful information to parents and students on concussion signs and symptoms.
CIF Concussion Information Sheet:
This is a required form for OLP student athletes, and their parent/guardian's to sign on an annual basis.
CIF Acute Concussion Notification Form for Parents/Guardians:
This form may be used in communicating with parents/guardians when a student-athlete displays signs and symptoms of a concussion.
CIF Graded Concussion Symptom Checklist Form:
This form may be used for parents/guardians and student-athletes when communicating signs and symptoms of a concussion to their physician.  This form may also be completed as a baseline at the beginning of the season and also used after a suspected concussion as a checklist to record daily symptoms.
Physician Letter to School Form:
This is an optional form for physicians (MD/OD) to use when communicating with school personnel and parents/guardians following a concussion.
Return to Learn (RTL)
The following two (2) documents (below) are to assist the concussed student athlete “return to the classroom and learning environment” in a scientific manner regarding brain activity.
CIF Concussion Return to Learn (RTL) Protocol Form:
This form is recommended for use by all parties involved when a student-athlete is returning to learn in the classroom.
CIF Physician (MD/DO) Recommended School Accommodations Following Concussion Form:
This form may be used by a physician, or by all parties, to support a student-athlete when they are returning to learn in the classroom.
Return to Practice and Play (RTP)
Medical science and concussion care experts have found that a concussed athlete must take a gradual and progressive, stage by stage, step by step return to practice under medical supervision to minimize risks and allow the brain to properly recover.  A.B. 2127 and CIF Bylaws mandated a minimum timeline, but medical experts recognize that many adolescent concussion patients may take much longer to recover.  Always be cautious as returning to practice and play too quickly may have catastrophic consequences.
CIF Concussion Return to Play (RTP) Protocol Form:
This form may be used by all parties involved with supporting a student-athlete return to play.
Health and Wellness
Health and Wellness
OLP is committed to ensuring all student athletes and parents are provided with critical information for keeping their students healthy and fit. In addition to students completing an annual physical, each student athlete and their parents are also provided critical information regarding key health issues impacting student athletes. This includes
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
,
Prescription Opioids
and
Heat Illness
.
The following required annual information forms are meant to provide students and parents with early warning signs and symptoms, and what to do in case they were to experience any of these. Should students or parents have questions, we encourage you to reach out to your health provider, or our Athletic Trainer.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
: Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is not a heart attack. It’s an abnormality in the heart’s electrical system that abruptly stops the heartbeat. It's caused by an undetected congenital or genetic heart condition. California passed the Eric Paredes Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act in 2016 to protect students participating in school-sponsored athletic activities. The new policy adds SCA training to coach certification and a new protocol that empowers coaches to remove from play a student who exhibits fainting, and potentially for other conditions if they are believed to be cardiac-related. Student-athletes must be evaluated and cleared by a physician, surgeon, nurse practitioner, or physician’s assistant to return to play. Student-athletes and parents/guardians review and sign an SCA Information sheet as part of their annual sports packet. Visit the
CIF website
for more information
Prescription Opioids
: As part of Senate Bill 1109, effective January 1, 2019, all schools offering an athletic program are required to provide parents and student-athletes an opioid fact sheet published by the CDC prior to the first practice.
Heat Illness
: Heat illness is a preventable tragedy. It is imperative that school leaders ensure, that those adults working directly with our students have the knowledge and ability to minimize risks and reduce injuries for the students they serve. A proper acclimatization plan is essential to minimize the risk of exertional heat illness during the early season practice period. Gradually increasing athletes’ exposure to the duration and intensity of physical activity and to the environment minimizes heat illness risk while improving athletic performance. California has a wide range of environmental factors (beaches, mountains, deserts) that face schools and student-athletes and the acclimatization period is vital to minimize the risk. More information is accessible on the
CIF website.
Supporting Student Athletes with Mental Health
The following resources are provided through CIF to support student athletes around Suicide Prevention, Anxiety and Depression. For students, their peers, and anyone responsible for their care and well-being, take the course
Student Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
.
Families are also offered a
Mental Health Toolkit
with a variety of resources to support their student athlete.
Anxiety
:
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issue in the United States. By understanding that anxiety is common and treatable, student-athletes can better manage its impact on their health and performance.
Depression
:
Depression is a common condition that can impact all students. Untreated depression can have serious consequences including suicide. Depression is a treatable mental health condition, and early intervention and treatment can lead to better outcomes.
Suicide Risk Prevention
:
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people ages 10-24. The incidence of suicide can be reduced by eliminating the misunderstanding and stigma that prevent individuals from speaking up and getting support.
Should any parent or student athlete want additional support, our
OLP Counselors
are available. Students, parents and community members can also choose to fill out an online anonymous web based form accessible on our
OLP website and available through our provider, WeTip
. The form is monitored 24/7.
