[quote=Anonymous]There is also a study released last week done at UVA about this exact issue. the main reasons why it appears girls get more concussions is because of hormones, neck strength and they are reported more. On the team I coached, we did not allow heading for a number of reasons. !. safety 2, they can't control where the ball goes and neither can 90% of soccer players at any age. It is better to step back, receive the ball and maintain possession. As for the ACL it happens but also there is a reason why more women tend to tear their ACL and it has to do with hip and knee alignment. there are plenty of exercises and drills to do to prevent the injury or to keep the chances down. If you are going to limit your kids sports by injuries I would not want to be your kid. More kids on my kids RMSC swim team have received more concussions than her club soccer team. Kids getting kicked in the head, falling on the deck or in the showers. [/quote]
