@SJLuvsLions if you remember, my SD offered tackle football for 1st graders for the first time last year. I said hell no and signed my kid up for flag...just didn't see any reason and/or benefit to be hitting at that age.

FWIW, I coached the flag football league and I can guarantee you that the best skill player was in that league. Purposely had to not get him the ball and rotate plays to those on his team because he would score a TD every time. Coaches are all-time QB and I could throw that kid a 30 yard pass and we would catch it every time. Was unbelievable.
