I think the consensus is to do flag until their teenage years

My old Jr High now does flag football. My concern is, now they won't know how to

yep. kids that start in high school are at not only a massive disadvantage, but increased injury risk

100% agree. They need to learn tackle at an early age or they get hammered

Of course it's East. I was going to say East but the gold helmet through me off.
