Why Do I Taste Blood At The Back Of My Throat While Playing?

Hi, Im 15 years old and have been playing football for 7 years. Every time i play in the weekends or at training i start to taste blood in the back of my throat and then when i spit i see some blood in the saliva. I have been having this ever since i was about 11 and it always occurs when I m doing physical activities. What is wrong? And should i see a doctor if it happens again?
