Springfield, Missouri's Glendale Falcons
The next fundraising date for Girls Soccer is next Tuesday, December 20. We will work concessions for the Boys JV and Varsity Basketball games against Rogersville.
We need 4 volunteers for each time slot. Please contact Sara Jordan if you are able to volunteer your time. We still need to see some seniors and freshmen step-up for these events.
Times are: 5:30-7:00pm or 7:00-close (roughly 8:30pm). All volunteers must wear a hat and closed-toe shoes.

Time magazine has an interesting story about concussions:
In the post-Title IX era, female sports are more competitive than they have ever been. And with higher stakes have come more hazardous consequences. Boys who play football are still more likely to suffer concussions than any other athletes, but in some sports played by both sexes, girls actually run a higher risk of getting hurt. According to a new study in the Journal of Athletic Training, U.S. female high school soccer athletes suffered almost 40% more concussions than males did (overall, the study estimates that female players suffer some 29,000 concussions annually, compared with 21,000 for boys). In high school basketball, female concussions were nearly 240% higher (overall, girls got 13,000 concussions playing basketball, boys 4,000). Female college athletes who play soccer, basketball, softball and hockey also bear higher concussion risks than their male counterparts.
