Scary!!
Makes me want to pull my bbs out of any contact sport.
Cross Country or golf sounds good to me.

For keepers it might not be a bad idea. My U14 decided after a few non-concussion kicks to the head to ask us for keeper headgear. Was more than happy to oblige.

I agree with you after a couple or even one concussion, I don't have a problem with a kid or adult players using headgear. My problem would be seeing the whole USA National team one day using headgear because of the fear concessions during a game.

All CL players should take the IMPACT test. It can be accessed through the CL website.It's my opinion that the league should mandate this...but I'm just one vote. Parents should take this seriously. Both college and pro teams require this.

Agree 100%. Parents should also insist their high schools use it too.
