American football remains one of the most popular sports for young
athletes. abstract The injuries sustained during football, especially
those to the head and neck, have been a topic of intense interest recently
in both the public media and medical literature. The recognition of these
injuries and the potential for longterm sequelae have led some physicians
to call for a reduction in the number of contact practices, a postponement
of tackling until a certain age, and even a ban on high school football.
This statement reviews the literature regarding injuries in football,
particularly those of the head and neck, the relationship between tackling
and football-related injuries, and the potential effects of limiting or
delaying tackling on injury risk.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Most injuries sustained during participation in youth football are minor,
including injuries to the head and neck. The incidences of severe
injuries, catastrophic injuries, and concussion, however, are higher in
football than most other team sports and appear to increase with age.
Player-to-player contact results in an increase in the number of
subconcussive impacts that occur during football. Concussion is associated
with player-to-player contact and tackling, in particular. Severe and
catastrophic injuries, particularly those of the head and neck, are
associated with tackling, often when improper and illegal technique, such
as spear tackling, is used. Efforts should be made to improve the teaching
of proper tackling technique and enforce existing rules prohibiting the
use of improper technique.
.
1. Officials and coaches must ensure proper enforcement of the rules of
the game. A significant number of concussions and catastrophic injuries
occur because of improper and illegal contact, such as spear tackling.
There is a culture of tolerance of head first, illegal hits. This culture
has to change to one that protects the head for both the tackler and those
players being tackled. Stronger sanctions for contact to the head,
especially of a defenseless player, should be considered, up to and
including expulsion from the game. The culture should change to one of
zero tolerance of illegal, head-first hits.
