[quote=Anonymous]How many levels are at his school? Are there three levels - Varsity, JV, AND frosh/soph?

We let our son play freshman year. He had never played tackle football before and only had done one season of flag. His school had three levels so he was on the freshman team. He is athletic but the boys who had played tackle before had an advantage so got way more playing time.

A parent with an older boy told me that usually happens and so many boys play freshman year then quit. And that is what happened to my son. He played a year, met a bunch of kids in the summer during practice before school started. They played in the fall and a sizeable percentage of the kids who had never done tackle football never played again. My son isn't a big kid so I knew he wouldn't play linebacker.

He returned to the sport he had played before that season so it worked out. I would NOT have let him play if there were only one level or two. The freshman boys were much smaller than the VJ and Varsity boys.  [/quote]
