[quote=Anonymous]It's taken me a long time to get here, but I agree OP. My son has wanted to play tackle football since he was 6. I always said no due to safety/concussion concerns and don't even get me going on my feminist tirade of the NFL. We put him (and our daughter) into flag football. He grew his love of the sport and has continued to ask about playing tackle. Here we are, he's in 7th grade, just went to the pediatrician for his annual check up and he's in the 97th percentile size wise for his age. He asked again if he could do the school football team and I said yes. Part of it is to give him the chance to do it before the stakes are too high. He has his primary sport that he excels in, and is part of his long term goal (playing in college, etc). But the social and emotional impact of being on the football team with his friends I believe will pay dividends, and he's already having a blast. [/quote]
