With recent concussion discussions here and the heightened awareness in general about concussions and recovery protocols, I wanted to conduct an informal survey re how many colleges are doing baseline testing for softball, which traditionally is considered a non-contact sport. And if they are, are they doing it for the entire team or just certain positions?

For the record, DD's D3 school is not doing this for Softball. FWIW, one player missed the entire season with a concussion (there was a history of prior concussions) and another player missed 1 game after a mild concussion (HBP in helmet).

Minimally, I'd like to see it done at least for catchers and believe it should be done for all players (as it was with DD's HS team).
