About a year and a half ago I ripped the ligament in my left knee. I was goal keeping and when I jumped to catch the ball I landed on it funny and all I remember is that it didn't feel to good. I had surgery and everything and fully recovered but now no team wants me on their team no matter how good or how much I try to be the best. As one coach put it they see me as a handicap on the team and couldn't risk me tearing the ligament again. I haven't played soccer in about 2 years and I can't stand it any longer....

Ouch that sounds painful
Funny thing is I've never broken a bone. Just tore the ligament.

I have been playing for ten years. It's the one sport I love and I can't get on a freakin team cause of and injury that happened two years ago... I hate it. Now the only opition for me is either get on a rec team or coach...

Don't tell them that you tore it.

[Wicked]

Don't tell them that you tore it.

I don't but they have to have a copy of my medical history.

Same exact thing happened to a player on my team's sister. She got surgery twice and now she can't play anymore x.x

I've played soccer since I was six. I play reps and stuff and I have a dislocating knee, luckily it hasn't troubled me.

I've just got back into football myself, after a few years of inconsistent play to find I have very little of my former talent at the game.

As for injuries, I've never suffered anything major, just the usual leg pains/cramps.

Here if you go and sign up you're in either A Grade, B grade, C grade or D grade.

Its not like you dont get to play if you dont get picked they put you in a grade that they think you're skill is at.

I'd play on a rec team just to keep myself in shape. When you keep applying for Travel or Club teams, tell them about your years in rec ball as proof that your injury has healed.

i have torn the ligament in my ankle a few times

each time it gets worse and easier to tear but im still playing at the moment

[Will]

I love soccer! Right now I'm playing (actually not playing but I'll get to that in a minute) on a rec team. Classic was filled with super-competitive freaks who only cared about winning at any cost...and that's just the parents don't even get me started on the players! This year I'm trying out rec because it's way less competitive and more fun . Sadly, however, I recently broke my collarbone so I have to miss 4 more games.

That stinks about your injury. You should try rec ball! It's fun and would allow you to play.

I haven't had any injuries playing soccer....but I did play back in ninth grade. I was considering playing for college this year but I don't know if I should....

[Alicia]

I like football/soccer(i'm an odd american and during the worldcup started thinking of it as football. ) but i haven't played since I was like...5 or 6..and really hadn't watched it since the World Cup. And we don't get any soccer channels with our DirectTV service.

But yeah, here's my soccer injury....I had been dribbling with the ball down the field and bumped heads with another player when I played little league. I had a bump on my head the size of an egg. >.< From then on I sat out or played goalie. I would love to play now but am super out of shape, and the only rec team anywhere close is 14 and under so I'll be too old this year. Sorry you can't play, that really sucks.
