[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving OP the benefit of the doubt, I think OP may be referencing the separate thread about HS freshmen playing tackle football for the first time ever. If it's the plan to start playing tackle in HS, then yes, it's probably better to have some experience in it first, especially if these kids are going to be seeing playing time in a game situation where freshmen opponents can be over 6 ft and over 200 lbs. My son has played tackle football for several years and is a tall HS freshmen, but I'm still pretty nervous about him playing this year due to size/speed difference in HS. (No, I didn't forbid it; I'll see how this season goes.) [/quote]

I’m one of the PPs.  Thanks for bringing us back to an actual conversation.  I agree with everything you said and feel the same way.  My freshman is 170 lbs and I’m nervous.  He has experience so he will be okay but some of the other kids are so big, even at the freshman level.  Then I see a lot at practice that look so small.  I’m not sure I would let mine play HS if he was on the tiny side.  Youth was all by weight so this will be a very different experience with w everyone together.  [/quote]
