Fresno Unified School District is investing in equipment that will better protect student athletes playing football and soccer. Fresno Unified is requiring all middle and high school football players to wear helmets with a special insert designed to absorb impact and prevent concussions. Also, 170 soccer players are being provided with protective headbands. Back in March UCSF-Fresno Neurologist Terry Hutchison showed us the statistics and area coaches and players agree head injuries are a scary reality on football fields.
