I can't be spending thousands of dollars to fail school, and I know there's some insurance policies, but I know people at the school would know more about that.
Track will probably not be an issue by the time that season rolls around... football, however, might. At least you'll have a helmet on. I'm not sure about the effectiveness of a typical football helmet... is that the kind of thing where you can maybe get the helmet a little bigger to allow room for extra padding, just in case? Ultimately, you'll just need to have some kind of plan in place to protect your head as much as possible, if not playing isn't an option.

Head injury on 10/26/13 due to a fall. Had extreme headaches, fatigue, and nausea over the next several days, but no insurance so I couldn't afford to get checked out. First official migraine occurred on 11/19/2013; no migraines before the injury occurred.
