        @davehogg right -- sounds like changing the sub rule would go a long way to helping. I personally would ban heading since it's the #1...

        @avantgame I'd make youth players wear rugby-style headgear.

        @avantgame that's what we've been trying, then transcribing to app. Unfortunately I'm in and out of home a bunch, trying to be consistent.

        @avantgame @Paulbeirne world soccer's concussion protocols way behind N.A. sport but I think that is likely because of the limit to 3 subs.

        @avantgame @Paulbeirne not supporting more subs....but stronger concussion action regardless of sub situation is required.

        @avantgame what's the feeling in US about the idea that players who are concussed (& lose consciousness) should be automatically be subbed?
