                 High School Sports and Injuries
 
Hello,
     My name is Ryan Harrington and I am sending this message as a
project for my Biology II class.  I am a junior and I am active in
many high school sports.  There are alot of minor injuries and only
a few major injuries.  Recently I saw a television program on about
high school students that are suing there schools and there coaches
for an injury there recieved in sports.  Some of the students were
suing the coaches for making them do drills that were unsafe.
Other students were suing there schools for not giving them proper
equipment for there activities.  I don't know if any of these kids
have won any of these lawsuits, but if they did what kind of affect
would it have on high school sports in the future?  I would also
like to know the maximum penalty that high school sports would have
to pay for a situation like this?  And with all the papers a
students have to fill out before they participate in sports what
kind of grounds does the student have for suing there schools or
there coach?  I would like to hear from you if you have ever been
in a simular situation or if you have an opinion.
 
                                              Thankyou
 
                                              Ryan Harrington
