[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 463628, member: 1169"] I wouldn't worry about him being behind the other boys if he doesn't join until future years. husband and I have a friend who played college football and his son does not and will not play youth football. Friend said that youth football is unnecessary for future play as 95% of being successful in football is size, strength and speed, most of which is genetic. Many boys do well joining football AFTER their pubescent growth spurt even with zero youth football experience. There isn't anything wrong with playing youth football if it is an enjoyable experience for the child but it isn't necessary to start as a small child. [/QUOTE]
