The Washington Redskins are inviting 500 area high school football coaches to a concussion forum during a minicamp next month.
Speaking Wednesday at a panel discussion as part of Brain Injury Awareness Day on Capitol Hill, Redskins general manager Bruce Allen said the team has sent letters to coaches in Washington, Maryland and Virginia, asking them to attend an April 17 practice during new head coach Mike Shanahan's first minicamp and participate in an information session about concussions.
"We're going to teach them what we have learned. We are going to expose them to all the information we have, because it does trickle down," Allen said in a meeting room at the Capitol Visitors Center.
"I'm hoping their message goes back to the parents at their schools and makes them aware what we're facing in the NFL, and (conveys) the emphasis that we're putting on this," he added.
The event is a Redskins initiative in conjunction with USA Football, which

Lucas anticipates releasing the scrimmage schedule at some point this week.

The football players at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School, Mayor Adrian Fenty and a room full of cheering staff needed only one word to describe her: coach.
Natalie Randolph, a 29-year-old biology and environmental sciences teacher, was introduced Friday as the coach of the school's Coolidge Colts. She's believed to be the nation's only female head coach of a high school varsity football team.
"While I'm proud to be part of what this all means," Randolph said, "being female has nothing to do with it. I love football. I love football, I love teaching, I love these kids. My being female has nothing to do with my support and respect for my players on the field and in the classroom."
The news conference drew the kind of attention usually reserved for the Washington Redskins and was delayed nearly two hours so Fenty, who is up for re-election this year, could be there and proclaim "Natalie Randolph Day" in the city.
Randolph was chosen

Soccer - Generic Graphic
PIERRE, S.D. — South Dakota high schools received the go-ahead Wednesday to add soccer as a sanctioned sport for boys and girls starting in fall 2012.
The High School Activities Association board voted 8-0 to accept a report on how to implement the sport, and 5-3 on adding it beginning in the 2012-13 school year.
South Dakota is the last state to add soccer, although there are a number of high school club teams that pay their own expenses.
Some schools are reluctant to have soccer teams because of the added costs. The local school board will have the final decision on whether to offer it.
