Would you let your kids play contact sports?

No football (head injuries) or wrestling (cutting weight) for us.

Both of mine played rec league soccer and baseball in elementary school. S25 also did flag football at that time.

S23 ran XC and track starting in middle school and had back to back stress fractures in opposite legs and missed all of his senior year.

S25 played lacrosse (goalie) starting in late elementary school and played at a high level from middle school on. He broke his thumb and has same niggling back problems but has otherwise remained healthy. (Knock on wood.)
