I thought the reason why cfc kids got turf toe was because of turf but it was because of toeing the ball really far. thats a serious injury.

With my own kids and their friends/teammates, late middle school is when the injury issues really ramped up. Kids who were always hard core, intense were watching their bodies breakdown as they started puberty and the competition got more intense and physical. Emotional burnout also got worse. Some kids won't admit they're having issues. You have to keep a close eye on your kid's physical and emotional well being. Consult your pediatrician, meet with a really good trainer who specializes in young athletes. Maybe even a good therapist (kids now are under insane amounts of pressure and it's good to have a therapist on speed dial for all kinds of reasons). Put them on the right path, not the injury path. Sometimes all it takes is one good injury plus a bit of burnout for kids to just drop out altogether.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOlder D specialized in soccer at u14 at the highest level, and dropped playing hoops. She now plays in college and has had some injuries that I feel can be traced back to specialization and overuse. She should have played hoops in HS and took winter off from soccer. Youngest daughter plays Varsity soccer, hoops, and lax in HS and is almost never injured.....Would never recommend any specializations until college, don't buy into the hype and money machine.
