I agree the misinformation sent out to sensationalize the drama of head injuries sure has worked for some communities nationwide. Glad football has fought back, adjusted and has proven over time to continue to be working on creating the safest experience possible.
If IHSAA has told IFCA for multiple years that other school sponsored sports are going to have to create or have it created for them summer restrictions, and yet over 6 years now they haven't what would you say to that? Not bitter, just still waiting.
as far as travel ball goes, I have purposefully chosen with my lovely Mrs to avoid all ALL STAR try outs, invitations, and other requests by local youth coaches starting back when mini me was playing park league softball at age 8, no thank you. Just not our families thing, more power to others and the opportunities you want to give to your family, it is quite the time and money commitment.
