Dude, you are young and you have plenty of time to play soccer, or basketball, or whatever. Coming from an athlete that played at a really high level, returning too soon ain't worth spending the rest of your life having to worry about your head. You seem like a really smart person, but this is a very unwise choice. Believe me, when you get out in the real world, no one will care if you played soccer or basketball when you were in high school. They'll only care about how well your brain works. Just a thought I hope you ponder on...

Darn it, I wasn't trying to quote, but its a good one.
Soccer, the thing is that your memory is not good right now. I would definately have the school work with you by doing a 504 for you. They can do this with a doctor's note for the concussion.
In the state of Indiana the group to help with education is called IN*SOURCE.
I am a Regional Program Specialist for them. This is my job. Each state has a agency that does just this.
I really enjoy my job. Most of us that work with parents to help get the best education for their kids do.
I also work with some of the kids and their parents both. And I have to say
its very rewarding when a child takes a real interest in what the school can do for them
