Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

How long after a minor is injured can a lawsuit be initiated?

My daughter who was 15 at the time of a sports injury. I have begun to wonder if the coach was responsible for the injury by not giving proper instruction for how to perform a drill. Must a lawsuit be initiated within two years of the date of the injury, or two years after she turns 18?
