Any kind of contact sport is lunacy. Even non-contact sports like track can hurt your joints if you aren’t careful. Basketball is bad for your knees, etc. I would tell my kids if they want to exercise: swim or jog on sand. If they want to have fun play video games or have sex (bang in your bedroom at any age). I don’t believe in being coercive but I hope my child would trust me enough they wouldn’t even consider playing football or heading a soccer ball.
