[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone give us the lowdown on A Form fall sports?  DS loves all sports.  I told him to go with whatever he wants to do.  He's come back to me for advice.  So I in turn am turning to you DCUMers.  I suppose I'd like to know what are the most popular, competitive, and well coached teams.  If left up to me, I'd vote soccer.  But that's only because I think there are fewer injuries in the sport.[/quote]

FYI
The youth sport that requires treatment at hospitals more often than any other is soccer.  Head injuries and concussions are more prevalent and there are studies showing that early dementia occurs more often in former soccer players than football players.
Soccer is a wonderful sport for anyone to play.  It's just your notion that there are fewer injuries that I'd like to correct.[/quote]

Include references to those "studies," please? I happen to work in applied neuroscience, and nothing I have come across suggests that soccer is anywhere the serious risk factor as football (or boxing) is.[/quote]
