Message: [QUOTE="Antiprodigy, post: 1767932, member: 582"] Soccer is starting to make changes for just this very reason. In MD, where I live, the state soccer organization has made rules that will be implemented in 2018. At that point, no kids under 11 will be allowed to use their head to hit the soccer ball. The plan is to gradually step the age up as that age moves along, until ultimately, no more heading will be allowed. This is MD right now, but the pressure is coming down from US Soccer, and will ultimately be implemented across all states. The sport will be forced to change or it will be legislated away. If the sport is played on a government owned field (think every school and most parks), it will be forced to abide by the rules or go away. If it can happen in soccer, you best believe it will eventually happen in football. Heaven help anyone who gets in the way of protective mom society! [/QUOTE]
