[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I played football (not flag football, but tackle), I never touched the ball.  I was a defensive lineman, and loved it.  I got to tackle people. And it was important for the game.

I was not big enough to play beyond HS, but you can really enjoy the game without getting the ball.  Every is active in every play.  Every player has a job to do to make the play successful.

If your kid will not be happy in a role where he does not touch the ball every time, then a team sport might not be for him. [/b] Team football means 11 people working together to achieve a goal.  For example, if I could draw two blockers, one of my team mates would be unblocked.[/quote]

this is too harsh. soccer and baseball and two team sports where every player CAN touch the ball no matter the position.[/quote]

i don't think it is-i think it is [b]realistic[/b][/quote]

tell me which sport where one player gets to touch the ball EVERY TIME. not even in football.

OTOH, it takes a special 9/10-yo kid to still enjoy a sport if he NEVER touches a ball.[/quote]
