Colorado moms tackle youth football safety

DENVER – More than 250 mothers from around the state of Colorado gathered in the stands at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Tuesday night. But while they were decked out in their favorite Broncos clothing, the mother’s weren’t there to be entertained – they were there to learn.

In conjunction with USA Football and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, the Broncos’ second annual Moms Football Safety clinic is an event designed to educate mothers of youth football players about the key health and safety components surrounding youth football.

The moms rotated in groups to four stations that discussed the main components of player safety: concussion awareness, heat and hydration, equipment fitting and Heads Up tackling.
