[quote=anonimouswon][quote=C3PO]My 14 year old son has had what seems to me an insane amount of injuries during soccer over the past year.  He has broken a bone, got a concussion, fractured a growth plate, and had some horrible bruises.  Is this just what soccer is?  Or is something wrong?  My sport growing up was baseball, so I don't really know.[/quote]

Is your son small for a 14 year old?  Did he get the injuries from practice or in games?  If he's smaller obviously more injuries can occur especially as it gets more physical in U14/U15.  Some players like to pull and shove other players and if the ref isn't calling this, then someone is bound to get hurt.  My daughter is on the smaller side and some players just throw their body into her to take the ball away.  Most of the time the ref calls a foul, but sometimes the ref's won't call anything.  She got a concussion from hitting the back of her head on the turf after a player bulldozed her.  That's the thing, if ref's don't call the pulling and arm use early in the game someone's gonna get hurt.[/quote]
