A state representative has plans to limit the amount of contact during practice for middle and high school football players, all to make the sport safer.
District 38 Representative Eddie Lucio, III introduced the bill to limit full contact football practices to one time per week.
He released a statement saying, ?Texas has been and will continue to be a football state, but we must protect our young athletes. This legislation is aimed at preventing the harm caused by undiagnosed concussions. The cumulative effect of subconcussive hits can lead to severe brain damage because the lack of diagnosis."
Head football coach, Larry Neumann wants to keep kids safe while preserving the integrity of the sport, finding it to be a difficult balance.
?How to legislate it for good reason and apply it in a practical sense is the key, and I don?t think anybody?s got the answer to that yet,? he said.
Representative Lucio?s office told KFDM news he?s in contact with the Texas High School Coach?s Association.
The office said he will not move ahead with the bill until the council is on board, but he will continue pursuing what the staff calls a ?practical and preventative solution? to reducing injuries on the football field.Lawmaker wants to limit contact for football players
