Shouldn’t my child wait until middle school to begin playing tackle football?
No. If your child waits until middle school to begin playing tackle football, he or she will be at a huge disadvantage. Most successful middle school players learned to play to football at the younger Pop Warner level. Middle school children without any tackle football experience have a difficult time competing with their peers who have prior Pop Warner experience.
