It was all about the moms Tuesday night at the Doctors Hospital Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University.
More specifically, it was about football moms and safety when the Dolphins put together, for a second consecutive year, their Heads Up Football Moms Clinic.
Approximately 125 football moms registered for the free event, which took place inside the Dolphins’ practice bubble and was put together by the team in coordination with USA Football’s Heads Up program.
“Right now we know that there’s a lot of bad press about concussions and the numbers of kids that are participating in youth football has lowered over the past few years, but I think with the USA Football program, we’re just here to inform moms, who we consider the decision-makers in the household, about concussion awareness, heat and hydration, proper equipment fitting and more importantly Heads Up Football tackling techniques that take the head out of football,” said former Dolphins tight end Troy Drayton, a USA Football master trainer and the team’s manager of youth and community programs.
