[quote=Anonymous]He'll just have to get over it.

My son also wanted to play football because his friends were doing it. I talked to other parents who felt the program at least at our school was as safe as it could be (given its football) and that it was a good culture overall. All said they were happy with the program.

Having said that, I still didn't allow him to play though he did do some post-season weights and two field practices. He doesn't want to play anymore but he was definitely annoyed that we said no freshman year.

You said your son plays another sport year-round.  You can remind him that in all likelihood, he'll need to start working out with the HS team pre-season if he's at a competitive school in order to maximize his chances of making the school team. There won't be time for football. My son realized his desire for football was because he wanted to play a school sport and once he actually made the baseball team at our very large competitive school, that football itch went away.
