How many of you have sons who played or are playing tackle football?
At what age did they start?
For those experienced parents, at what age do you think allowing them to play is appropriate and why? Also, have you ever heard any coaches give their opinion on the “proper age” to begin playing?
I’m asking because my son will be 7 next year and next fall can start playing tackle. A few friends who coach think 8-9 years old is the right time and before that isn’t needed for multiple reasons.
I wanted to get others opinions as well.
