Get him into flag-football until high school.



This I was an assistant coach for my sons 8-9 year old team... a kid on our team got hit and was out cold for 3 mins - scariest 3 mins of my life. Decided at that moment we were done with tackle football until later. We found a very good flag football program and my son is learning much better overall technique. Getting to play qb and has time to do the correct footwork etc... Over all a much better experience.

Kids get injured and hurt in all sorts of ways and in all kids of sports and activities. One of the worst collisions I have seen was a face to face mash up of two players going after a pass in flag football. Compared to other activities, nothing compares to tackle football for all of the combined benefits a kid gets out of it.

I'm so sick of the overreaction and hyperbole surrounding football. Let's bubble wrap our little angels and continue turning America into a bunch of pussies. Thanks Oprah.
