California Law Bans Full Contact Football Practices In Summer To Prevent Head Injuries, Concussions

California Governor Jerry Brown just signed a law this week banning the use of full contact in middle school and high school practice sessions during the off season. The limits placed on summer practices as well as practices during the season is aimed at minimizing head injuries and concussions. Some coaches, however, believe that taking such drastic measures to prevent the head injuries could lead to an increase in other injuries, such as spinal. They think that if the kids don't learn to hit each other properly in a controlled environment then the likelihood that they will hurt themselves and each other during games is significantly higher.
