    Hi
    My son, who is 13 and very strong for his size, would like to try wrestling at school or after school.

    Our concern is that the shunt reservoir, which is near the front right side, would be too vulnerable, even with a helmet, especially since the wrestling helmet straps look like they would go right on top of the reservoir.

    Can kids with shunts and reservoirs still safely wrestle?

    Thanks, stephanie (fred's mom)
