Inclusion Criteria

All players must be above or equal to 10 years old and below or equal to 17 years of age, as the research is primarily concerned with player behaviour and impact severity in a youth sample with and without wearing headgear. A body of evidence suggests that rates of sports injury and headgear use largely differ among this population. Participant will be recruited from youth football clubs that do not mandate headgear. The teams will be selected from Junior Football Clubs: Southern Metropolitan Junior Football League or the Eastern League or Yarra Junior League.

Exclusion Criteria

Australian Football players above or equal to 18 years of age.
