Actually the activity might be better for him. As long as he is active doing some type of sport might be beneficial in the long run. Just give the coaches a head up on his condition.

That’s what my coaches always did too and then the game went on

A MyEpile...

My neighbor has a grandson with focal unaware seizures. He plays...softball or soccer? The coach attends to him if he has a seizure, and the game starts again and no one seems to complain.

I started having seizures when I was 10 years old. I was a star at every sport. Any time I had a seizure my coach would just come out and attend to me. When I was back aware I got right back to playing and could play just as good as before the seizure. I wouldn’t even know I had a seizure until after the game when my mom told me. I continued playing sports all the way through high school. So I would let him play sports ⚽️ .

It really depends on what the epilepsy is like. In generally I would say yes. Especially if it's only junior soccer as there are lots of extra rules designed to prevent injury
