i have been watching my kids play competitive soccer for over 10 years. And have never seen the roughness that's been on this thread. And I don't think any high school kid is playing to kill each other. MMA, "are you kidding me." soccer is a physical sport. again if you don't want your child taking that risk then you need to get your child into something else. get them into tennis, golf,cheerleading, ballet,ping pong that type of thing.you'll be much more comfortable.
