He's grown up around college & professional athletes & he's been playing with friends since he was 4 or so. He's now 5'1 and 115 pounds and throws a ball like kids much older than he is. (He wants to be a quarterback).


Answers:

NO. My 12 year old played tackle last year (then 11 yrs. old) and he has asthma to boot. He had a great time. My fear was far worst than anything that ever happened in a game. They are padded up and at that age they aren't trying to kill each other like the high schoolers do. (also had a H.S. age son playing).
If it will be the first time he has ever played football; let the coaches know. He won't be the only one without experience. He will learn. Let him try.
