Illegal contact for kids

A recent study published in the February issue of Injury Prevention highlighted that 98,000 injuries to high school athletes from 2005-2007 were directly related to actions that can be considered illegal or against the rules of the game. This represents 6.4% of all high school sport injuries and means that officials need to clamp down on such inappropriate conduct. The highest rate of these injuries occurred in girl's basketball, girl's soccer, and then boy's soccer. The largest percentage of these injuries occurred to the head/face.
