when i learned to play football, when tackling was introduced, the first thing we learned was how to take a hit. mind you, i did have multiple joint and ligament injuries playing tackle football, even just pickup.
i won't be putting my son in tackle football for sure. football is an amazing game, but i think the game, especially at the child/youth level can be enjoyed being played as 2-hand touch or flag football (i much prefer 2-hand touch).
