Governor Newsom signs legislation protecting parents’ rights in youth football
“Football is the best sport in the world. It is also one of the most physically demanding,” said Assemblymember Avelino Valencia. “As a former player and coach, I understand firsthand the physical toll that repetitive head impacts can have, particularly on our youngest athletes. Soft-shell helmet add-ons provide an additional layer of protection and are already used at the collegiate and professional levels, including the NFL. Parents should have the ability to choose this technology for their children, regardless of where they play, especially during these critical years of cognitive development. I thank Governor Newsom for signing AB 708 into law and prioritizing the health of California’s youngest athletes.”
