Canadian Soccer

Soccer is a contact sport which has international participation. Community recreation leagues span across the continents. In North America it was recently estimated that 12 million citizens engage in the sport of soccer. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System estimates over 150,000 minor and major injuries occur annually from soccer participation. Accordingly, outdoor soccer is stated to have six times less injury compared to indoor soccer.

Causation and Concussions

Preliminarily, outdoor injuries may be attributed to playing surface, which is either artificial turf or natural grass.

Indoor play has significantly more injuries statistically, which are attributed to collision with players or side-walls, or playing rules may be somewhat relaxed by officials.

Injury to lower extremities. In Toronto Canada, the soccer association for the U-13 girls’ age group is experimenting with what is termed a girl-friendly lighter ball. This is believed to reduce knee and leg injuries, as the ball is about 20 percent lighter and smaller compared to the standard adult soccer ball.

Movable soccer goal posts and nets have been cited to cause injury, and according to one often cited statistic, caused more than 30 deaths since 1979. Deaths resulted either from one’s misuse of the goal post, or the actions of another causing the goal to strike someone leading to fatal injury.

Head Injury

Both at the professional and amateur levels, football, ice hockey, and soccer statistically share results relative to head injuries and resultant concussion. The Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine, CASM, recently reviewed the literature concerning injuries from soccer. Their definition of head injury was defined as “Traumatic injury to the head that is usually evident on clinical examination.” Examples would include cerebral spinal fluid leakage, laceration and hematoma. The CASM review cited symptomatic concussion which occurs in up to 50 percent of university varsity soccer players over a full season. Furthermore, statistical concurrence seems similar for those participating at all levels of the sport.
