Como Club updates youth team policy
The Italian football club Como has decided to implement a new training program aimed at protecting its young players from head injuries. The program includes a ban on heading the ball for players under 10 years old, with similar restrictions for those under 11, gradually guiding them toward safe aerial play. This step was taken in response to growing concerns about the risks of brain injuries and concussions. Former Real Madrid defender Rafael Varane participated in the initiative, calling for improved care and prevention measures for children in football. This move comes amid similar actions taken by several countries, including France and England, to reduce the risks associated with heading the ball for young players and prevent related injuries.
