[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most schools don't have JV football anymore. Not enough players. So those 135 pound freshmen are now playing against 240 pound seniors who are looking to be recruited by D1 colleges. Football is not a lot of fun for the smaller, younger boys. It's a very painful game. There are players with significant injuries every, single weekend. And the cumulative effect of all the micro-concussions that occur every game at nearly every position often don't manifest themselves until years later. There's a terrible risk-reward calculus in football. Unless you're some 6'6 behemoth, I don't see how it's worth it for 95 percent of boys. [/quote] Well clearly 135 lb freshmen shouldn't sign up. Many high schools have a huge freshmen team though and it's more social and exercise related than actual football. They work out and run drills and are part of the team. At our high school I wouldn't worry too much about an average size athletic kid participating.[/quote]
