Use of safety helmets increased awareness among parents as well as coaches, better helmets, alterations in the rules of the game, and medical guidance and supervision are the important steps that must be implemented without any compromise to prevent the injuries and their effect.

Over 31 states have passed such law and it is called Lystedt Law.
