[quote=Anonymous]This is such an accurate post. Not many sports (if any) are like tackle football in where the teammates rely on each other so heavily. If a blocker misses his block, the runner behind him can get lit the hell up and injured. Depending on the age of the kids, they might not understand this, but they do/should understand this at the HS ages and it certainly builds a strong bond. My son is playing tackle for the first time this year as an 8th grader and it's going well. I have no regrets of not starting him earlier. The coach says if there is any doubt a player cannot handle his blocking assignments, he will not play. He will not risk a player getting injured just so another player can get some minutes. As a result, playing time is not guaranteed, unlike just about every other sport I know. So tackle football is a lot different in many ways. We did not let our older play. He just didn't have the right mentality and felt either he'd get hurt or he'd get someone else hurt. He plays other sports at high levels. It's all good.[/quote]
