I've actually read that it's soccer that causes the most injuries for children - specifically knee injuries.

well I broke both of my thumbs and bruised a rib playing pield hockey, and I also damaged my rotater cuff and knees, and back playing volleyball... sooooooooo I suppose both lol... but love em both still

My boyfriend is proof of this...

this is why my son will NOT be playing football any time soon!

both of my brothers play football... my older brother played in college too and the only injury he had... from football was a concussion... plus now you can get helmets that are custom fitted to reduce the chance of a concussion, and as always proper conditioning, and technique help reduce injury

Duh!
Football!
It's a rough sport for sure!

i guess volleyball because of the amount of friends and my sisters who play and have gotten hurt sooo many times

I got hit under the chin with a field hockey mallet when I played and it cracked my chin! Needless to say, I have a lot of jaw problems now!

are these numbers per number of kids... because probably more kids play certain sports so are capable of getting hurt more...

I got it right, but I was tempted to pick cheerleading, because you always hear about these freakish accidents associated with it. I guess it's partially freakish because severe injuries in the sport are less common? I don't know, but I picked football!

I heard cheerleading actually causes more injuries. Either way two things Ill never do

OMG...my nephews are CONSTANTLY in the ER and being carried off the field during football!

I thought for sure cheerleading since my best friend in high school was a cheerleader and was always getting hurt. Then again, she was the girl that always got thrown up in the air and stuff because she was so tiny. She got dropped more times than one, but I guess football is pretty violent too.

I would think soccer would be up there as well. My sister sprained her ankle 2 times when she played in high school.
