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.

The next fundraising commitment for girl’s soccer is next Tuesday, November 27. We are responsible for the concession sales at the first Varsity Girls Basketball game. We will need three volunteers per time slot. Times are 5-7 pm and 7 pm-close (no later than 9).

All volunteers need to wear closed-toe shoes and a hat. Paper hats are available at the concession stand if you cannot provide your own.

Parents and new players are encouraged to step up for this duty and begin their support of the Falcons Nation. Who can spare 2 hours to help Falcons Soccer get off to a great financial start?

Contact Sara Jordan if you are available to help.
