Playing in pads young is nothing new. I started playing football in pads at the age of 6 in the YMCA league where I lived and that was in 1979.
I really like how they did the youth league in the town where I went to high school, Tuscumbia, AL, Deshler High School. Back then we ran the Wing-T and that offense was used all the way down into the youth leagues. The young kids in town were taught the same offense they would be running years later in high school and it paid off.
From 1986-2014, the team has won their region 21 times, made it to the state playoffs 26 times with a record of 67-24, won the state title twice (90 & 98), and in 1990 running a pure rushing attack offense set the all class state record for most points scored in a season with 600. That record has now been broken by Hoover running the HUNH.
