Kids working out TOO early and the Players are simply TOO big. There IS an injury issue and the League has tried to solve it with rule after rule after rule. But guess what....They are still dropping like flies! I honestly believe that MANY Players are damaged goods as early as High School and they don't even know it. Go check out MANY of the Pop Warner Leagues out there. Kids are pumping iron at age 10 or even younger. Killing their joints. Just like Baseball.....Kids arms are SHOT by High School because too many Coaches want a Travel League trophy.
