i agree with fly like a duck though, if an 8th grader wants to start early working out with the high school team, thats fine. he could run, do non-contact drills. But I would advise that they stay away from lifting, unless its very light weight (the bar) working on form.

You got it! Learning how to lift is the key. The strength and weight will come, but so many kids out there do not know the proper techniques in lifting, which result in a couple things:

1) Serious injury

2) Hampering them from increasing their strength and weight they want to push around because they haven't learned the proper technique(s).


Is that right Young Henry or is that another sign of someone who is clueless about strength and conditioning?
