The rule in my league, 5th-6th grade, was 115 I think. In 2000. Over 115 lbs you had to play on the line on offense and defense. Not a new trend. But yeah, stupid as all fuck.wildcats20;1536697 wrote:That is literally the dumbest fucking thing I have ever read.
Ha it's not pussifying, but this is the equivalent of putting a really fat guy in a hockey net and letting nothing get through. That's not even football, it's like using the bowling ball power up in Backyard Footballwildcats20;1536697 wrote:That is literally the dumbest fucking thing I have ever read.
If putting a really fat guy in the net to block the puck worked, then hockey teams in the NHL would be doing that. You literally post stupid shit with every post you make.Classyposter58;1536759 wrote:Ha it's not pussifying, but this is the equivalent of putting a really fat guy in a hockey net and letting nothing get through.

True, and it's a way to protect the young ones, since not all kids hit puberty or grow at the same rate. JH/HS football is another level, what classlessposter said is fucking stupid. It is completely fair what they do. Learn to hit the big guy low. You ever see a lineman pick up a fumble and try to run with it? He hits the ground very quickly.I Wear Pants;1536764 wrote:It's not about "pussifying", it's an attempt to make them actually learn to play football rather than "who has the kid that hit his growth spurt earliest". Youth football is all about development which that rule helps.

Two hour practices 3-4 times a week for 3rd-6th graders is too much around here, but those damn Super Dads who are 5'10 and started 1 year of varsity football on a 4-6 team are going to have an NFL player. A huge peeve of mine.ccrunner609;1537059 wrote:there is absolutely no reason for a 1st grader to be playing football.
Bullshit. My son loved flag football in the first grade.ccrunner609;1537059 wrote:there is absolutely no reason for a 1st grader to be playing football.
Other than the fact he enjoyed and learned quite a bit and made some friends. He is about to start basketball in a couple weeks. He enjoys sports.ccrunner609;1537059 wrote:there is absolutely no reason for a 1st grader to be playing football.
Football is pretty big where we are and I haven't come across very many of these guys.Ironman92;1537067 wrote:Two hour practices 3-4 times a week for 3rd-6th graders is too much around here, but those damn Super Dads who are 5'10 and started 1 year of varsity football on a 4-6 team are going to have an NFL player.

Good...maybe it's a local thing. We are just loaded with these dumbass dads. And the guys they have coaching aren't too great either.pmoney25;1537096 wrote:Football is pretty big where we are and I haven't come across very many of these guys.

Making a size rule in High School would be pussifying.I Wear Pants;1536764 wrote:It's not about "pussifying", it's an attempt to make them actually learn to play football rather than "who has the kid that hit his growth spurt earliest". Youth football is all about development which that rule helps.
If you threw "tackle" in there, I would actually agree with you.ccrunner609;1537059 wrote:there is absolutely no reason for a 1st grader to be playing football.
