3rd & Goal (4): Football still a safe sport in spite of concussions

“3rd & Goal” is an exclusive CFC series that, over the next few weeks, will examine the fading future of high school football in Ontario.

TO OPEN THE SERIES, we delved into some of the reasons for a drastic drop in high school programs since 2010

NEXT, we looked at the continuous struggle that small schools contend with to run strong programs, or even run a program at all.

LAST TIME, we investigated the correlation between a lack of high school coaching and a subsequent lack of programs, while imploring the need for youth coaching at all levels

In this instalment, we study why the rise in concussion awareness and advancement in protocol has scared parents and players alike away from the game of football.
