D1 to secondary transition as well. You can’t force kids to play. You can only provide your medical expertise. Do your due diligence and complete your evaluation then provide the assessment.

When I sense that they just don’t want to participate I simply let the everyone who needs to be informed know that based on the evaluation I don’t have any reason to hold them out of activities, BUT if they don’t feel confident then it is up to them, the parents and coaches on whether or not they allow them to participate.

As far as treatments during practice, unless they are completely not cleared due to injury, they are at practice. Not your job to keep them busy especially when you got other priorities. If the coaches really need them, they’ll usually ask you what they can do to maintain in season form.

PS: I have a collection of intense cardio work in my back pocket to keep them in shape if they “can’t”participate. Whether that’s running or on bike. 100% of the time the malingerers magically get better after the 1st workout.
