year round youth football

[chevy13]

Does anyone know of a league around or close to her that has anything similar to select baseball where they play most of the year?

[coachdaddy]

I think Beaumont has the Bulls, I don't know how often they play though, or where?

Why would anybody subject their kid to the beating that kids take in football all year round. Football is not a sport that should be played all year. A kids body is not developed to do that. They need time to heal their bodies not keep beating it down and possibly cause some major health issues at a very young age. My son plays but ounce the season is over it's on to basketball and baseball. Those of you who put their kids through the beating they take in football all year round are living vicariously through their son for something the parent may not have accomplished when they were young in my opinion.

Why? Because the parents enjoy the glory more than the kids enjoy playing.  Hence why anyone would subject their children to year round sports of any kind.

Maybe I wasn't clear in the way I worded the original post.  I'm saying exactly what you are saying.  Kids will play year round, but parents need to intervene and stop them from doing it.  I didn't mean that the kids didn't enjoy it, just that I feel the parents enjoy being football parents more than kids like beign footbal players!

Since year round baseball has been going on in the younger groups the # of elbow and shoulder surgeries have gone way up!

[Raider88]

FYI, the Beaumont Bulls do not play year around. Their season is at the same time as other youth leagues.
As far as I know there is not a year around Football league in this area.

Some of your kids may be fast and agile,  some kids aren't.  Some have birth defects that limit the other sports but do not effect him on the line.  So I wasn't asking for your parenting advise only information, and no I don't live through him. My son loves football not baseball or  basketball.

[fraggle24]

I think its funny that certain people would give "parenting advise" about living through their kids,  but defend stacking a but elementary kids on a team to ensure they "WIN". 

[Coach85]

If you are talking about me, I have never defended stacking an elementary team.

[jabu84]

if he is in the 6th grade try the houston select league

FYI, My kids are in the TYFA league.  Although my organization does not participate in Spring football,  there is a Spring season which consist of teams in Houston, San Antonio, Austin and the Valley.  It consist of 6 games and then a playoffs.  I personally don't participate due to my kid being involved in other sports, but if you want to play go to the web page and look at the teams participating, and I am sure they would allow your child to play with one of the Houston teams.
