[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused as the why soccer is medium risk and lacrosse is high risk. My DD plays both and I would actually consider soccer a higher risk than lacrosse???[/quote]

I guess thats why you're confused. You would actually consider soccer a higher risk.[/quote]

I would too. I consider soccer a lower risk because although there is definitely contact, it is more incidental and not sustained with any one person for any length of time. [/quote]

That’s just not true, or you have just never defended. There are a lot of players that are (or should be) touch tight most of the match. If soccer is being played without proximity or contact it’s not really soccer being played. [/quote]

The difference between man on man marking and piles of players all over each other on most plays followed by team huddles obviously make football riskier. I think the PP was just making a point about relative risk. And if you don’t understand that about football, you may have played plenty of soccer, but you did not play a down of tackle football in your life. [/quote]

I understand and have played plenty of pointy ball, which is referenced all of nowhere in the above discussion. The question was whether there was significant contact in soccer, the question was not whether there was more contact in soccer than football. There is more close contact in wrestling than soccer, that doesn’t change the fact there is a lot of contact in soccer. Just because there is another option that has even more risk doesn’t negate the risk inherent to soccer. [/quote]
