[quote=Anonymous]I can see how it happens. Kids are into sports, start clamoring to play football with their friends, you sign them up for flag, they love it and get older and now want to play for high school (and high school games are still THE weekly fall social event, even in MoCo which isn’t particularly a hotspot of football love). Parents see the benefits (kid get physical activity, kid spending time with friends, kid engaged in something they are passionate about outside video games, games are enjoyable for parents too, parents are less risk-adverse than you). Next thing you know, you have a high school football player. We’ve successfully steered out two sports-obsessed boys away from football but I can see how it happens and some of our kids friends play.[/quote]
