Only one person has talked about the difference between boys' and girls' ankles. It's a BIG DEAL!! Girls' ankles are much less strong, and much slower to heal completely. By letting your daughter continue to play, even taped, you are guaranteeing that sooner than you'll like, she'll need surgery or she'll have to quit playing completely. I know this for certain because of years of experience with my own daughter and her friends. If you plan for your daughter to continue in any athletic venue beyond the next year or two, get her to a podiatrist with lots of experience with girl athletes, PRONTO and do exactly what he says, even if it includes a year or two off all sports.
I hate to sound so harsh, but I'm quite certain I'm right, and I need to convey the message in whatever tone will work. For your daughter's sake, find the right podiatrist and get in to him or her asap. I'm quite sure you'll be glad you did.
