I’ve heard a lot of soccer leagues are taking steps to address headers, but afaik, it’s a bit of a false lead b/c (and this is weak knowledge) a lot of the concussions are not header related. Happily, your kids didn’t want to play it so doesn’t matter much.
Boxing is such an odd sport in the modern context. I’d also add that you should be wary of some other MAs like TKD, as depending on the exact ruleset there can be an extreme focus on kicks to the head.
