• Medical literature demonstrates significant risk of permanent brain injury for serious soccer players.
• Medical literature demonstrates a high incidence of concussions among youth soccer players.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies soccer as a "contact/collision sport"

Typical of the reports coming from medical investigators is the new research carried out by David Janda and his colleagues at the Ann Arbor Institute for Preventative Sports Medicine:

"'We've got a problem here,' said Dr. David Janda, an orthopedic surgeon. The study to be published in the September issue of the journal, Neurology, found that heading a soccer ball can cause symptoms of concussion, headaches and small but measurable verbal defects among children.... He recommends the use of helmets and light-weight balls in instructional leagues."
