[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before OP goes worrying about the kid's high school and college career, let's recall she's 8. She will be heading nothing. The greatest danger to her is a collision with another 55 lb girl.

Just let her play; you can worry about concussions when they actually become a threat. [b]IF she even likes the sport[/b].[/quote]

OK.  Let assume that she plays today and six years later, at the age of 14+, she still loves playing soccer.  What will you do, tell her not to play?[/quote]

Perhaps you just worry about your kid and I'll worry about mine. [/quote]

I think it was formed as a question.  You don't have to be an a__ h__e about it.

I guess the question has to do with let say I have an 8 years old and I let her play soccer now.  She does not have to be good but she loves playing soccer.  Fast forward when she is 14+ and she loves playing soccer, I don't think it will fair to ask her to stop doing something she really loves and enjoy.  It has nothing to do with being good.  Once you're past 14+, heading the ball is part of the game and so is "rough" play.  It is a hard decision no doubt.[/quote]
