RE: Rugby tackling

Posted: 9/1/2016 9:30:44 PM

My son's a HS sophomore this year and decided to go out for the football team. It's his first year of organized football -- ever. And he wants to be a WR, which is one of the more vulnerable positions for head and neck injuries. Obviously, my wife and I have a lot of trepidation about this. But I've been to some scrimmages and went to the varsity and JV games last week, and I've been impressed with the lack of really hard hits. Just about all schools teach rugby tackling, and what I've seen so far makes me somewhat less concerned. Of course, he's only been in on the kickoff coverage team, so we'll see what happens when he gets in at WR.

BTW, the varsity plays at Athens in a couple weeks so I might take part of the day off and get a SE Ohio refill.

We will get by.

We will survive.
