Nonsense???? I guess your position is better than Bill Gates position? (I THINK NOT). Im not surprised you dont get it. See, its not just about football, its about life, careers, education and everything our children do. Competition, is about competeing with "like" competition. Would you allow an 8th grader to be on a 6th grade academic team to get better? I think not! Would you allow an 8th grader to play with 6th graders on a basketball team to get better? I think not! Would you allow an 8th grader to play football with a 6th grader to get better? I hope not. Now if it is just to have fun, OK. But what I understand your league has done away with playing competitive football, with other schools, with children of the same age and grade. Hopefully your doing more good than harm for your school.

Sorry but I think you are the one that doesn't get it. We've already been through this about the grades and A team and B team. We are not lining up kids that cannot compete with other kids. Its not watered down and its not noncompetetive. It is kids of the same age and abilities playing against each other only with more teams and more spots so everyone gets more game experience. If that is not teaching kids how to compete than I don't know what is.

We have gone back to a system that has proven itself to be a good fit for teaching kids how to play and win football games. Thats it. And yes, we believe that we are doing more good for our kids and our school.
