+1 for soccer. My teenager plays it with his senior school friends, but I always discourage him. Tell him he can pick up any sport, in which he doesn't have to physically directly engage with other persons. I played field hockey in school & college. And once was involved in a head on collision with a friend, who suffered a bloody nose/face and was taken to hospital. And I was shit scared, until I knew he was safe, very luckily for me. I have come to hate all sports like boxing/wrestling/soccer etc. for this reason. There are plenty of athletics and sports where you display your individual skill at a distance from another person to choose from. I think, these sports are simply not probability friendly. When many people play, somebody is bound to get seriously injured.
