USA Football endorses reduction of contact in practice

Steve Alic, USA Football Wed, 06/13/2012 - 5:45pm

“Football on all levels – from the NFL to youth leagues – is reducing the amount of practice time with full contact. USA Football also endorses that reduction of full contact in practices, whether it is fewer practice days or less contact time during practice.

“We stress the importance of coaching education while continuing to work with medical and football experts to make the sport better and safer.”

--Scott Hallenbeck, USA Football Executive Director
