[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids played club and travel soccer all the way through high school.  They stopped wearing them somewhere around middle school.  I figured once they got kicked, they'd put them on, but it never happened.  I thought it was bizarre but none of the kids wore them.  And my youngest did take a really hard kick to the shin during a game once, his shin guard slid to the side and was not in the correct position. It was so bad he had to be carried off the field and we went straight to urgent care.  He still stopped wearing them for practice.   [/quote]

Bigger story here is you took your kid to urgent care because he got kicked in this shins during a soccer game, [b]this is funny.[/b] Moral of story, despite this he's fine and chooses to still not wear shin guards, is there anything else to say here about this topic?[/quote]  No it was not funny. My kid had an early growth spurt and was always bigger and more athletic than everyone else. He was a tough kid who was always double-teamed by the defenders (he was a striker) and they would take him down hard!  He always sucked it up and shook it off. He's taken a cleat to the face and still has the scar, broke his wrist after an ugly fall, and had two concussions.  I never saw him shed a tear.   But this time he couldn't even stand up; we couldn't put ice on it because it was too painful to touch; it was swollen, red, and bruising. When I saw the tears streaming down his face I knew it was bad.  I don't regret taking him to urgent care. [/quote]
