HEAT & HUMIDITY CONDITIONS

The NHYFSC advises all associations and parents to take heat and humidity matters into consideration before and at all practices. Associations should be advising all participants on the importance of hydrating before practices and to insure participants are bringing ample amounts of water to practice.

Dehydration and heat exhaustion can cause serious medical issues or death.  Proper planning will minimize discomfort and avoid serious medical issues.

(March 20, 2018) – The Kissimmee Sports Commission and American Youth Football, Inc. have signed a five-year partnership agreement for the annual American Youth Football & Cheer Championships to continue being hosted in Osceola County through 2022. This event generates nearly $8 million in direct economic impact annually and brings 19,500 overnight visitors to the area each year.
American Youth Football, Inc. is an independent non-profit corporation that provides support services, grants, giving back programs, and tournament opportunities to over 25,000 youth football and cheer teams from all 50 states and internationally. The American Youth Football & Cheer National Championships has been hosted in Kissimmee since 2007.

The NHYFSC takes Concussions very seriously. Through constant training for our administrators and coaches we feel this will help individuals identify the signs of a concussion.

What is a Concussion? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. Concussions are caused by a bump or blow to the head. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious. You can’t see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away. 

Please click here to download a copy of the CDC Head's Up Concussion Fact Sheet for Parents.

The more administrators, coaches, parents and athletes know about a concussion the better we will be able to keep our children safe.

Let's have a safe and exciting 2017 season.
