The Arizona Athletic Trainers Initiative and the Arizona Athletic Trainers’ Association have organized a “Safety in Sports Campaign” to promote increased safety in football throughout Arizona. It is the goal of the “Safety in Sports Campaign” to help each football team in the state identify ways in which they can decrease the risks of injury while still maintaining a focus on the fun and camaraderie that comes from participating in football.
Through Friday September 30th, football players representing participating high schools and colleges throughout the state will wear a small sticker on the back of their helmets. This sticker represents the cumulative efforts of the schools, the Arizona Interscholastic Association, Arizona Athletic Training Initiative and the Arizona Athletic Trainers’ Association (AzATA) to improve safety in youth football in Arizona.
