“boys and girls and little Ned doesn’t get hurt...”
You’re kidding. Soccer is full of broken bones, bruises, hard hits, knee injuries and on and on. Last month, a kid on my son’s team played the last game of a tournament after tearing a big toe toenail completely off because they needed him for a full lineup. The goalie on his JV team last year made one save that broke the opponent’s shin guard and then a few plays later the goalie suffered a concussion AND a broken jaw. He held onto the ball and made the save. His high school team is full of the walking wounded by the end of the season.
Sure, the younger kids aren’t allowed to play that rough, but I have no problem with that.
BTW, in a game at higher levels, midfielders run an average of 6-7 miles, including lots of sprinting.
it’s still mommy game for little kids
baseball now has this too.....Cal Ripken baseball instead of Dixie Youth.
