As of yet, the use of Guardian Caps is not required for school-level and amateur football athletes. However, the risks of brain injury are still just as real, if not more because younger players’ brains are still in development.
In certain cases, brain injuries from contact sports may be traceable to the negligent actions of others, in which case, legal action may be needed to pursue a remedy. An example of this is where a youth football coach refuses to remove a player from the game who is experiencing concussion symptoms.
