College football games lead to more frequent concussions than high school games
At the youth level, a child who played American football in 2013 had a 3 percent chance of sustaining a concussion during a single season. That number was a little higher at the high school and college football level, however, where players had a 5 percent and 6 percent chance of sustaining a concussion, respectively. These risk estimates come from the first study to compare the incidence of concussions across the entire range of youth football — that is, for kids between the ages of five and 23.
