Kids do not have the same physical capabilities of professional athletes on television, yet some parents insist that their kids continue playing extremely harmful sports at a violent level of play. Young athletes should not put constant strain on developing bones and muscles. For example, in baseball, a twelve-year-old trying to throw a curveball puts constant strain on the elbow’s ligaments, and may cause

The one fact that one will notice by reading the following is the reasons why contact sports should be banned and the credible sources that have confirmed the harsh outcomes of playing such sports. Through the injuries, problems that come from concussions, and the fact that athletes are pushed beyond their limitations, one will see that playing contact sports is not at all what it is cracked up to be. The injuries tell it all and through the blood-soaked writing that has been typed below one will see that playing contact sports should be banned for good from public schools.

On the other hand, others believe that children should be allowed to participate in contact sports during their high school career if they please to do so. One reason is that people claim that sports equipment is developing to become safer. Experts agree that, "Equipment innovations in energy dispersing pads, telemedicine and technology to reduce brain cavitation inside the skull- known as "brain slosh"- will enhance the safety for young athletes." However, the game is also evolving. It is just a matter of fact of which evolves faster, but ask yourself if you can take that chance. The younger generation is said to be our future.

In the article, Concussion Doc Calls for Ban On Youth Football, Nicholas Staropoli states,“That is the issue for Dr. Omalu, who believes there is no safe way to play football, or other high-impact contact sports, and so it should only be a choice when kids are legally able to make their own choices, at the age of 18.” I disagree with this view because, as current research has shown, football is less risky than many different activities, such as skateboarding. Also, I agree with Nicholas that the kids shouldn't be able to make the decision, however, if the child's parent is allowing their child to participate in the sport, they should be able to do so. I believe that if there is no need to change the age limit for other sports/activities, then there is no need to change the age on which kids can play tackle football.Young or not, anyone should be able to pursue their passion in any way they

Step 1 is to breakdown, buzz means to set your feet in a good balanced position, correct body posture for the hit, shoot into the hit, wrap up, and finally drive your target into the ground.

Playing football is not like playing other sports. Athletes in all kinds of sports risk injuring themselves, but in football, a lot of the risk comes from other athletes. While there are many ways to be injured playing football, one of the worst is head-to-head targeting. This has been a problem in football since the beginning of the game, especially, when equipment was not very protective. Over the past eight years, the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) has implemented rules and penalties specifically designed to protect players and to hopefully reduce the number of bad head injuries (Marshall). The NCAA is doing the right thing by protecting players from severe injury by calling and enforcing targeting penalties.

Calls for a targeting rule that would eject players who are found to lead with their head in a tackle of a defensless player have been mounting after Monday night's Steelers-Bengals game featured multiple head-on collisions. While the hit that injured Ryan Shazier's spine was not head-one, Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was suspended for one game for leading with his head while blocking Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict. Cincinatti's George Iloka was flagged for a head-on hit of Antonio Brown and was initially suspended for one game, but his suspension was reversed upon appeal.

Yes, football can be played by kids under 16 because learning proper tackling at a young age throughout time results in greater tackling at a later age. Therefore the kid will have and advantage over the kid that starts playing when they are 16.

One point of comparison between the youth and high school levels of sports is rule enforcement. Both youth and high school sports have specific rules of their games, referees, and consequences for bending these rules. But, in youth sports, the rules outlined by the governing body of the sport are often lax. For example, in youth soccer, there are no formal restrictions for the technique of throwing a ball in, while in high school soccer, the ball must be thrown with two hands from behind the head with the ball traveling in a straight path over the head. Youth sports’ referees are unpaid, untrained, or both. Some leagues even allow coaches or parents to officiate. This is in sharp contrast to the trained, paid professional referees of high school sports. Even rules that are supposed to be enforced are not always enforced in youth sports. For example, most youth basketball referees will allow a player
