They assessed data on children from 7 to 17 years of age from 1990 to 2014. They published their findings in the journal Pediatrics Researchers said that during that time there was a 78 percent increase in soccer-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments. The annual rate of injuries has soared by 111 percent. Youth Sports Injury averaged cost $6039 for an inpatient visit and $439 for an ED visit from sports injuries. Sports injuries for Medicaid-insured youth cost $10.8 million for inpatient visits and $44.2 million for ED visits.
