    Very concerning news story from NBC this morning about turf filler material and it's damaging effects causing cancer in children. This is startling and not only if you have a goalie, like they mentioned in the piece, but think of young siblings sitting on the sidelines and the stuff you track in your house after walking on turf. I've seen babies crawl on the stuff and I'm sure some has been ingested. Already contacting sports organizations my kids are part of and I implore you to read, share and try to raise awareness to achieve safe conditions for our kids on sports fields.
