Yeah, I have three boys and this is something I've wrestled with, you know, over the last few years you know we played flag football i have a 12 year old a 10 year old and an eight year old and so we played flag football through fifth grade for my oldest but there was no flag football available in our area really once you get to sixth grade and he wanted to try tackle i'm aware of all these studies and what's been found over the last few years so i'm like hyper sensitive to it He really wanted to try it.

You're going to wear a guardian cap to every practice to try to help reduce the risk even more.

But even then, I'm very hesitant about it and I'm very worried about it.

And now he was so far behind joining in sixth grade, which sounds ridiculous, but he joined this team where everyone had already been playing tackle for four or five years.

So he's so far behind.
