That's not a surprise. My understanding is that participation in various youth football programs is down, and further that participation in high school programs is also down. Some programs are being cancelled because of declining participation, one HS in NJ recently cancelled its schedule as they had only 22 participants.
Some of this is attributed to concerns with regard to head injury, and some is attributed to the number of other sports alternatives available to youth.
