> Good luck enforcing this with kids. We played flag football in school but full tackle with zero supervision after school in the park.
Sure, kids will sometimes hurt each other just horsing around too. I think the idea here is for sanctioned children's leagues and school teams to not allow tackling.
This also comes back to the pads and helmets. If you watch kids playing full tackle on a playground the actions are very different than when they are lined up with 20 pounds of gear on. Kids are going to tee off with their heads when it is going to hurt like hell.
