INJURIES, BY THE NUMBERS
Injuries. They are a part of the game. After
all, football is not a contact sport, but rather a
collision sport. Injuries are inevitable.
And the results from the 2020-21 National
High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance
Study prove just that. Whether it be in practice or
during competition, injuries are unavoidable when
it comes to football programs.
During the last year - which was played under
the cloud of the COVID-19 pandemic - 908
injuries were recorded and more than half of
those occurred during competition. The study
found that an injury occurred nearly 35% of the
time while being tackled. The next-leading activity
where injuries occurred was tackling (21.8%).
In total, there was more than a 50-50 shot of
sustaining an injury while being tackled on the
high school football field.
Keeping in mind the high percentage of injury
from tackling - it is, along with blocking, the
key component that makes football a collision
sport - the most common injury report by high
school football players came in the head/face
and concussion area with 17.4% of injuries. It
should come as no surprise that the positions that
sustained the highest percent of injuries involved
the running game. Running backs, offensive
linemen, and defensive linebackers all accounted
for the highest percentage share of injuries with
15% each. Defensive linemen and wide receivers
were next on the list with 12% each.
Nineteen percent of the time during the act of
blocking, whether it's handing out the block or being
on the receiving end, an injury occurred last year.
Regardless of position played or where the
injury was sustained, in the 2020-21 season,
22% of injuries caused student-athletes to

miss an average of three to six days. Though
the highest response was " other, " defined as a
compilation of medical disqualification for the
season, medical disqualification for career, the
student-athlete chose not to continue, and the
season ending before the athlete could return to
play. That garnered 36% of the injuries recorded
last season. n
