While attending the NSCAA convention in January 2004, I came across several studies on the issue of Concussions in sports. For example, high school athletes with concussions had prolonged memory dysfunction compared with college athletes with concussions – i.e., age/maturity can have a dramatic impact on recovery time. If you are interested in learning more about head injuries and prevention, you might want to check out the website www.full90.com. Several area soccer stores carry their Headgear which is approved by FIFA. If there is enough interest by teams and parents prior to the start of the season, we should be able to get a discount by placing a single order.
