I have no real answer to the when can she play.

But I do know that with a post concussion that you really have to
be careful. I would really watch her, make sure that she continues
to do the exercises that she was taught if there were any to help
with the things for balance. ALso if she continues to have issues
to do the things that helped.

I had a concussion in August and have been in Physical therapy
for my neck since then. Just last week I finally hopefully was released.
But being that I'm much older than your daughter, and I'm less physically
prepared for the injury. I will need to be more careful.

I have a tens machine, and will have to watch my neck, and keep using
heat on it. But I will always have to watch things. But my therapist
has told me that I should be able to do anything I want to.

So if your daughter just continues to exercise and stay fit. And works
at doing the things that soccer players can to stay in the shape they
need too, and its also possible that she will need to let someone else
play the goalie though.

That would be the one thing I'd personally worry about if I were the
parent, its technically to me the hardest position after that kind of
injury.
