I was just wondering if my brother should play football

Question

he is a 7th grader and he loves football but he is gonna play in the 8 th grade team the coaches want him to play in the 8th grade team but i don't want him to get hurt.

Answer 1

well it all depends on how strong he is and what his strengths r.if he is a running back of some sort and he is good at running.then yea ill get him out there.just make sure the team has a good o line.it all depends on the positon he might end up playing!!!

Answer 2

well in my opinion their isnt awhole lot of diffrence between a 8th grader and 8th grader. When i played football in grader school about 10 years ago the 7th and 7th grader were all on the same team...mind you if he plays hs....when he is a junior he will playing with seniors...and if he is up for college he will be playing with seniors who could be nfl bound when he is only a freshman. So dont worry about it.

Answer 3

If he has the chance and is allowed, then yeah he should.  The choise is up to him.

Answer 4

My coaches always tell me if you go hard every play and play with alot of heart nothing can stop you.

Answer 5

At that level of football, the players aren't nearly as physical and there aren't nearly as many injuries outside of bruises and scrapes and maybe some smashed fingers and toes. The chances of suffering major injuries at that level are small.
