[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As parents, do you worry about the injuries your kids have/will experience? In addition to concussion, there are other injuries that may impact lifetime health, e.g. knee injuries, hamstring injury. Do you think it worthwhile for kids to risk that to play soccer?[/quote] I worry about it to the same extent that I worry about my kids getting injured doing other activities. I do think soccer is a little more dangerous than the average person may think. However, I draw the line at American football and hockey, where I think the risk/reward ratio is skewed enough to not make it worth it, and thankfully my kids have never shown the least amount of interest in either. Honestly I think just biking around town is way more dangerous than soccer, youth sports, and probably even driving.[/quote]
