Goodness gracious! Doesn't all sports (apart from swimming and cycling) involve bodily contact? Even doubles tennis players bump into each other!


But some sports deliberately use violence to move people out of the way or defeat the opposition. I've not seen tennis players go around purposely hitting each other,....YET!

Karate and sports such as ice hockey are deliberate contact sports - you purposely hit your opponent in one way or another. Collisions on ice can also be in excess of 30 mph, which is a lot faster than tennis players would bump into one another. Cycling can be as dangerous as horse riding - broken collar bones are the commonest injury. Nothing is safe really...life is a risk, but some accidents can be avoided with a bit of forethought and knowledge.

She sounds like a mature girl for her age and I think she would happy and very understanding that you have let her know the risks.

I combined a career as a professional violinist with deliberate contact sports for a number of years, but even while I was at school I was very aware that a broken arm or hand could have ended just the basic ability to play the violin.
