[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironically, my husband and I had a conversation about sports during the Super Bowl. And we agree that there will be no contact sports for my kid. The one thing we agree on.[/quote]

That may be a hard rule to enforce.  Soccer, lacrosse, football baseball, hockey, wrestling, field hockey, basketball... All contact sports.  As are martial arts.  You can ban some, but if the gods give you a certain kind of kid, it is really hard to ban all.

DD's teammate got a concussion playing volleyball. So vball's out. [/quote]

Don't be an ass. Certain sports are more risky than others. You make your decisions based on risk. Volleyball is low risk and you know it.

Martial arts are also pretty low risk. Kids don't spar at full strength in TKD or karate and would be reprimanded if they found hard enough to cause a concussion. Kids shouldn't be doing MMA at all.

I don't know much about wrestling, but it also seems pretty low risk to me. I'd have to research it, if my kid wanted to wrestle. [/quote]
