a child off young playing football they can learn almost everything about the sport and be a lot better. There’s a lot of rules and very difficult words to football and if you don’t know them it will be difficult to play the sport. I know this personally because my first time playing is this year in the 9th grade. Me coming in so late affected me very bad because i wasn't physically fit and my football IQ was very low. If you don't have a good football IQ the coaches will not really focus on you they will help you but you would really have to work harder than you would if you knew everything. It should be the child’s choice if they want to play or not.
a lot of parents force their child to play football and sometimes that makes the child upset or angry. If you start them off young you can find out if they like it or not and it could save them a lot of time and also save you money. Also if you find out they don’t like the sport you have enough time to find out what else they might be interested in like another sport or getting involved in the community. Another reason is because starting them off young will build their strength and stamina It will also teach them the proper way to perform the actions safely. Football requires a lot of strength throughout the game and even practice. If you don't have enough strength and you get hit in the game you will fall right down and you might not even recover from the hit depending on how hard it was. Football also requires a good amount of stamina. If you can't keep moving for a good amount of time you won't get a lot of play time because you can't last like other players can. Not getting PT (Play Time) also affects kids because if you don't get in ,sometimes people make jokes about you and think that you suck even though they haven't seen you play
before. One final reason is that because sometimes playing sports makes you more mature and even makes you do better in school.The main reason it helps you get better grades is because athletes know that if your grades aren't good your not getting in the game until your grades are back to where they should be. Football makes you more mature because most of the time you have to be serious like on the field and in practice.If you goof around a lot it will affect the way you play and you won't be happy with the outcome. Being more mature helps you in school and also on the field because the more mature you are the more focus you are and the more focused you are the better your grades are and the better your performance on the field is. I feel that parents should start their kids of young playing football for several reason. One of those reasons is because it makes them more mature. Another reason is because it will make them better in the future. One other reason is because it should be the child's choice to play or not . One final reason is because it helps the kids in school with grades.
