Soccer involves 8-10 miles of running per game. Go play a five game tournament weekend while you’re growing. Also, there’s more hip and shoulder contact than people know.Concussions. Almost as many as American football. Not to mention ACLs. It's a great game, but I think US youth soccer has some things very wrong.
The soccer ACL injuries are more prominent with females. It has to do with their hip structure.
