Safety Tips for High School Football

An orthopaedic surgeon with Philadelphia Orthopaedic Associates, Andrew Collier, MD, also has served as team physician to local little league and high school football teams. In addition, Andrew Collier, MD, volunteered as a team coach during the years of his sons' little league play. In its list of rules that apply to high school football, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has included a number of safety guidelines. Players are no longer permitted to purposefully strike another player above the shoulders, a practice known as targeting. This particular rule follows expressed concerns about on-field concussions, which have also prompted the creation of the federation's Heads Up Football program. Developed to provide concussion prevention and response education, the program also helps players and their coaches understand the proper way to wear equipment to avoid injury. The NHFS has also issued a ban on targeting a defenseless player--defined as “a player who, because of his physical position and focus of concentration, is especially vulnerable to injury”--for tackles. Other position-based rules include the requirement that a minimum of four teammates must be at either side of a kicker, and no teammates can be more than five yards to the rear of the free kick line.

To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.
