Can I get my tragus pierced and play sports?

Well I've had piercings before in basketball and they just told me to put like bandaids over, then one of my friends had her 2nd whole in soccer and she just put medical tape over and they never said anything. I have 2 months before soccer games (were allowed to wear earrings in practice) Can I get my tragus pierced and eithier get a clear retainer or put something over it?
