Sports do present some risks for kids (of course so does being sedentary).
Kid's brains are particularly susceptible to problems.
A recent study shows some long term effects of concussions in kids.

"We noticed significant difficulty in completing the tasks among those with concussion history," says Marc Dalecki, postdoctoral candidate and lead author.
"In fact, it took many of the children two years after the concussion to have a similar performance on the task as children who did not have a history of concussion."
