3RD & GOAL (5): Why do we need high school football?

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

In THE FIRST EDITION of the series, we took a look at some of the reasons why Ontario is falling off the high school football landscape

THEN, we studied the epidemic of school closures and the uphill battle small schools face to run competitive programs

IN THE 3RD INSTALMENT, we saw that the number of high school coaches in the province is on a steady decline, and implored the need for more coaches to give back to their communities

AND LAST WEEK, we dove into the issue of concussions, stressing that, while they’re a serious issue, parents and kids should not fear the game of football because of a possibility of a head injury.

Now, in the fifth edition of 3rd and Goal, we ask (and answer) the question: why do we need high school football?
