In this post, I need to give some love to my sons' youth football league. This league, which is for kids from 7-12 years of age (2nd-6th grade) from 6 different communities in Northeast Ohio. The Freeway Youth Football League, recognizing the issues of sports medicine in football, are taking some serious steps to educate themselves before it is a requirement by state law. They have already scheduled a conference for the coaches in the entire league. This includes approximately 50 teams with 5 coaches a piece. Hopefully, this awareness will translate into an attentive group that is willing to learn. Since the class is scheduled for later this month, I will update this post with how it goes.
This blog covers topics related to athletic training and sports medicine for high school and middle school athletes. A focus is given to my hometown in Lake County, Ohio.
