Are You Ready for Some Football?
I believe I have written a few blogs about my son playing football here in Forsyth County. Well this year, he moves up to middle school ball and believe me when I say, he is hitting and getting hit MUCH harder this year. Play has barely begun and he has come home limping and asking for ice packs already.
I saw this and think it is definitely worth sharing. Please remember that in all sport concussions are a reality. You can get your child (12 or over typically) a base-line test every year at the new Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at the Avenues with an appointment. For more information see this article below:

One thing that is worth mentioning is to talk to your child before the season. Kids feel pressure to return to the game before they should. They need to stay out until they are ready to go back in and not a moment sooner. It is not worth it!
