New for 2010 3rd/4th grade will play tackle

Much consideration has gone into making this change including consulting with several coaches,
other youth football programs and the USA Football Regional Manager.

Our goal is improve our youth football program and fundamental skills of the players.

Introducing tackle and teaching proper tackle techniques
tends to be less intimidating when players are relatively similar in size.
The size disparity between kids in the 3rd/4th grade levels is typically 50-110lbs.
In the 5th/6th grade age group, the disparity is much greater (typically 60-175lbs.) 

Teaching proper tackling techniques is actually safer for players
than getting tackled incorrectly or being unprepared to be tackled.

3rd grade is in fact the most common grade to start tackle.
To name a few programs that start tackle at 3rd grade - Ellsworth, Oakdale, Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Hastings, Eden Prairie, Roseville, Mahtomedi, North St. Paul, East St. Paul (UES), Rosemount,
Apple Valley, Eagan and many others.

As we have done with the 5th/6th grade levels in the past
we will enforce weight limit rules to keep the games fair and safe.
