Young Athletes Should Not Play Football

If you knew the risks, would you let your child play youth football? The children should play youth football whenever and wherever they chose because it is their right to choose whether or not they play football or not. They should still allow the children and others to play football regardless of the risks because those risks are being dealt with without need of them not playing at all. They should still allow the children and others to play football regardless of the risks because those risks are being dealt with without need of them not playing at all because there are certain precautions that are being taken for safety of the head to prevent concussions.

In the article “I’m refusing to let my son play football, and you should too” by Doree Lewak, when she was talking to Dyan Hes, a mom who will not be letting her son play tackle football, she wrote “‘My biggest fear is that he will get a concussion, and it will interfere with his brain development, his studies and his enjoyment of other sports,’ says Hes.” Hes has feared what most would rather not think about: what will happen when the child plays. Concussions happen more often than not in a sport like football, and the child will have to live with the trauma for the rest of their life. In the article “Why Do We Let Kids Play Tackle Football?” by Stefan Fatsis, he wrote “…there’s already data that shows the effect of tackle football on undeveloped brains, like a study released this year by researchers at Virginia Tech and Wake Forest that found that 7-year-old players absorb impacts on par with those in college football.” In children, that kind of impact is definitely life threatening. When a young child gets injured in the head, the injury can hinder their growth of the child’s brain, and that child’s future will not be as great as it could have been. To guarantee a child a safe and healthy future, they must not play

Should parents let their children play football? Is the risk of head injury too great for children to be allowed to play the game? Should schools programs change the rules of the game to make it less dangerous? Football teaches teamwork, discipline and responsibility. Although some people think that football is dangerous, some think it's safe because they have the best equipment, helmet training and neck stabilization to keep the neck safe when they land wrong, any exercise keeps children healthy and team sports give them this opportunity.

Football is often labeled as a dangerous, unsafe sport, but there are many good things that come along with playing football. In the past two weeks I have learned about the risks that accompany football. Many kids suffer with concussions and face injuries from the sport, which scares many people away. But, despite the risks and the unsafe label, I would allow my child to play football because it promotes health, builds friendships, and helps gain toughness.

Players should not play sports because it is too risky. Most likely if players play they suffer from injuries, and mental problems. They also have problems from people who want them to quit the sport and play a safer one. Players have many, many problems while playing sports.

In today’s world, approximately 2.5 million children are playing football, according to Jennifer Shotz, a writer for Scholastic Scope. However, with doctors discovering more and more about injuries that can occur while playing, many parents are no longer allowing their kids to play America’s favorite game. In spite if that, parents should let their kids play football because it is good exercise, teaches discipline, and there are many greater risks in everyday life.

Football should remain in school because it helps children stay out of trouble. Football keeps kids in school which gives them less time to get in trouble. For example, robbing people, doing drugs, or hanging with the wrong crowd. At this age, teenagers are still growing and learning. They have a need to identify with others. Therefore, they are easy to be influenced

Football was the most common sport watched.Until Futbol came along and took itś thunder. Football has been losing popularity and players due to the concussions. On many parents minds is, should my child play football? The benefits of playing football is the risk. A lot of parents think everyday should my child play football. Football is dangerous for kids who aren't tough, fast, and smart. Kids should decide if they went to play or not and I don't recommend this for everyone, but for those know that they have a chance.

In this writing I will show my opinion on whether kids should be able to play contact sports such as football. When I was younger I used to play football and it was very fun. Playing sports gives kids something to do and something to enjoy with their friends. If playing contact sports got taken away from kids it wouldn’t be good because some professional football players have been playing their whole life and some football fanatics might want their kids to play football and develop a passion for it. If kids never develop a passion for it they might not ever and it would be a loss because if they are good enough they could get a great job and make a lot of money some day. I think all kids should be able to play any sport they want no matter

After watching the movie “Concussion” and watching the documentary, I have learned more things about the risks of football and the effects that concussions have on former players. The movie has taught me that football is a sport that most people don’t have the same outlook on. Some people believe that the risks outweigh the benefits of the sport. In our debate, we discussed the risks of playing football and had to put ourselves in the shoes of parents who are deciding whether or not to let their child play football. Some said that yes, it was okay to let the kid play and others, however, strongly disagreed. There are both benefits and risks to playing football but I tend to believe that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Second, more and more kids are getting hurt in schools sports, In the video Report pressure on teen athletes soar says “ Youth’s football players concussion has tripled this year.” Some kids are not full grown which risk the chance of getting injured. The Article, High School, college football comes with Risk says “ High school athletes are less physically mature and have less muscle mass than collegiate athletes. For instance. They also have incomplete growth plates, meaning their bones are still developing. Inexperienced athlete techniques can also exacerbate their risk of injury, Comstock

Every athlete is affected in some way by the potential risk of a concussion during practice or in a game from youth leagues up to the professional level of play. My writing will focus equally on concussions in football athletes at all levels. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has created training courses for coaches and athletic administrators. These training programs assist in the awareness and preparedness of what actions to take should concussions occur during practices or on game day. The courses demonstrate how to use “the return to play” rules to keep the athletes from more serious injury. Because many are attracted to sport programs at a young age, “prevention” is the primary focus at the youth and high school game level. Educating young athletes is the most effective way to reduce concussions in any sport.

Athletes are often viewed as some of the healthiest members of society, yet partaking in competitive sports brings with it inevitable risks of injury. Every fall thousands of football player will line up to participate in one of most popular and physical demanding sports in the United States. In any given day, hundreds of those players will have endure a serious injuries or concussions. Due to the large size of football teams and the higher rate of concussion relative to other sports, concussion occurrences is highest in football.

Although, some believe football isn't safe, it’s clear that football is very safe. New rules and guidelines, exercise and life lessons, and injury awareness are three reasons to support this idea. If kids, parents and coaches follow the doctor's orders, then, kids playing football is beneficial to their social and personal

Throughout football one of the most common injuries is a concussion, but people fail to realize that a concussion is very dangerous and scary, if the wrong actions are taken. As concussions are prevalent in collision and contact sports, an estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), says that nearly 1.1 million people are seen in emergency departments each year with concussion like injuries, and nearly 235,000 people get the worse of it and are hospitalized.(Ferullo, 2010), (Green, 2010). A concussion is defined as a “complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces.”(Ferullo 2010), (Green, 2010). Also concussion can have a variety of symptoms, with
