Waterskiing Injury Foot

should i play it?

i am in grade 10 and i was thinking about joining the rugby team at my school. my parents dont want me to because they think it’s too rough. i am 5 foot 7 and 110 lbs so im not really built for it. im also good at running, but long distance not sprinting. i am doing other sports right now. i downhill ski, snowboard, run, swim, i will be doing track and field and in the summer i waterski, wakeboars and barefoot. is it going to jeopardize my sports career. i dont want to really risk being out for the season with an injury. what do you think, should I do rugby or not?

I did rugby (in addition to lacrosse and ice hockey) and it was a blast. It is rough though. If you don’t play in the scrum, you won’t get as battered, but even as a back, you can still get hurt. You can attend a few practices and see what you think. I never got hurt in ice hockey, but did hurt my knee in rugby, as well as cutting my forehead. But it sure is fun!
