We also used to play tackle football, especially in elementary school. Teachers would complain, we'd play touch until they looked away. Then it was back at it. Amazingly I think the only injury that occured over all those years was a kid got a bloody nose.
We also played "redass". It was kind of like murder ball, only if you got out you had to stand face forward into the wall while whoever got you out got to launch the ball at you.
Stop taking away the fun of being a kid. Arms are supposed to get broken. Kids are supposed to play hockey in the streets. Don't even get me started on hand sanitizer.
