Two answers to counter the “maybe she’s done” vibe:

Every school has intramurals, and you can usually find something anywhere from very intense to quite slack. If she wants to sweat and run around and stay involved she can probably find a game. (Unless her sport is ringette or rodeo or something, at which point she’s got to make some choices…)

And many schools have club teams that play other schools. There are uniforms, refs, leagues, travel, playoffs, etc, and the level of play can be pretty high. For example check out the ACHA for men’s and women’s hockey (https://www.achahockey.org/ ) or the NIRSA for men’s and women’s soccer, basketball, tennis, etc ( https://play.nirsa.net/ )
