Is a moderately hard blow to the head with a foam dodgeball enough to cause a concussion?

Maybe: If you have trouble with persistent headaches, any instability, behavioral abnormalities or are getting worse you may have a concussion or worse.

Possilby: Only worry if you are having symptoms of concussion. How solid an object may be is not the determining factor causing a concussion, it is the angle of the blow, the rotation of the head on neck and the susceptability of the individual.
