Nicolas wants to play tackel football and I think he's too young. I put him into flag football instead and he thrived. He was a really good quarterback, in fact the coach told him to try to not throw it so hard. The kids weren't able to handle the heat. The other issue we found out about is flag football is close to $500.00. Which is a big difference to the $70.00 that I paid for him to play flag football. Tackel football practices three days a week for two hours plus they have games on the weekend which can be an hour away. He liked playing but I don't know he would like to be pushed, shoved and thrown to the ground all the time.
