To forbid DD from playing football at break?

[PFBGirlAlert]

Ok, I know I am really, but hear me out!

DD plays an instrument (rather well, if I may say so) and she also plays a sport competitively at national level and another county level.

She has started playing football with her classmates at break and it seems she is invariably in goal. I found out when she came home once complaining she'd hurt her hand and I told her it was football and she's supposed to use her feet! I pointed out it wasn't a good idea due to injury risk and she seemed to agree.

Shes just had her last tournament of the season and last concert and one of the first things she said was "oh good I can play football again now!"

I never said she shouldn't play, only that she shouldn't play goalie.

I still don't think it's a good idea, she will be devastated if she injures her wrist.

Is there anything I can do/say/show her to mitigate the risk of injury? Should she bandage her wrists like she does for boxing? Gloves- do they help protect, if so which? Techniques to learn? Or should I tell her she's not to play in goal?

AIBU - to forbid her to play in goal?
YANBU - it's a sensible precaution

Buy her goalie gloves and feel proud that she has so many interests. Too many women have been held back in life. Let her enjoy her sport.

If she enjoys playing football, speak to her about training sessions locally. My DS loved football for a few years and did goalkeeper training until he no longer wanted to. That's the way to develop techniques for handing the ball. Playing football in the playground is very rough and tumble and child led with a TA/ keeping an eye on things as well as rest of playground.
Gloves and better skill will help her to continue enjoying her breaks with her friends the way she wants to.

Oh no, your daughter likes sports more than music, how will you cope!

My son is now 19, he started playing in goal when he was 6. In that time, we had a couple of sprains, but no broken bones.
invest in some decent goalie gloves with wrist protection, but ultimately she could just as easily break a wrist tripping over or falling on some stairs.

She needs really decent goalie gloves with finger and wrist protection. My DS was always in goals. He also played piano to a high level at that time. He broke his arm twice but it was the hyper mobility in his hands that caused him to give up piano as he is forever dislocating a digit. He once dislocated a thumb throwing a tennis ball for the dog
