Soccer Mouth Guards

I promised myself I wouldn't blog about soccer---my daughter plays in the South Jersey Girls Soccer League, and it's well run and well officiated. Everything I've seen indicates those in charge really care about the well being of the girls participating.

Can someone tell me then why mouth guards are not mandatory for the girls?

Do a Google search for soccer mouth injuries and you'll be appalled and sickened at the injuries that can occur.

I would like my daughter to wear one, but she won't because none of the other girls do---I think we need to mandate it.

Some states are doing so.

More to follow on this.
