Did You Know: Strategy 2.A

Exceptions:

1. Tournaments and jamborees from the national and provincial high performance programs.
2. Supplementing participation through non-contact streams.

Playing two tackle football seasons concurrently (at the same time) dramatically increases the risks of injury. Proper recovery is nesessary for optimal athletic performace and limiting risks such as burnout or injuires.

Playing two tackle seasons at the same time also doubles the number of games played in a week, therefore diminishing time for practice and development.

Rather than adding repetitions brought on by enrollment in a second team or season, athletes looking to develop would have more success through participation in out-of-season player development programs or non-contact leagues.
