Yes, you read that right.

Apparently, youngsters shouldn't play football with a full-size official ball.

If you're in goal, and you save a particularly hard shot, it can severely damage the tissues and bones in the wrist.

Doing gym is worse. I've got thin wrists anyway, but three years of gym didn't help, I'm set for arthritis by the time I'm 30.

Bah but thats nothing compared to having a full pumped up ball toe punted right at your face from point blank range. :o)

Good 'ol rock 'ard 'ed saves me again :oP

They should be playing with a Size 4 ball, which I was playing with at U9's and U11's. U15's well, thats the big boys :-) Broken wrists? PAH more like Broken legs :-)

Actually this is very true. When i was about 9 and playing with a full size ball, i nearly broke my wrist when i was in goal. I was in goal trying to save a penalty, i saved the penalty but the ball bent my hand right back and i had to have x-rays on my wrist to mkae sure it wernt brocken. luckily it was only bruised.
