Como Club Appoints New Under-10 Coach
Italian Como Club has decided to implement an internal training program aimed at reducing head injury cases among young players, particularly those under 10 years old. The initiative involves banning aerial play and head-to-head hits during training sessions and matches for this age group. This move was initiated by former Real Madrid defender Rafael Van der Vaart, who emphasized the importance of protecting children from brain injuries, especially as their brains develop. He highlighted the need for clear rules and proper training to minimize unnecessary collisions. The measures include a complete ban on heading for players under 10, restrictions on its use until age 11, and a gradual effort to raise awareness of the benefits and risks involved, focusing on the increasing dangers of brain injuries and the incidents witnessed in football and other sports.
