Leete, Jr., NeFootball Focus John McAllister Lewis Parents. everywhere. are in a quandary as to whether or not their boy should play football. Naturally there are many parents strongly in favor of their child’s’ participation, and many soundly c6nvinced that they want no part of it. Boys, regardless of what your folks views are, abide by them as your own parents are more interested in your welfare than anyone. They have reasons for their opinions. Sit down with your dad or mother and have alittle chat about the matter. Statistics have proven that the extreme fear of injuries in football is somewhat unwarranted in that boys not practicing under the organized tutelage of the school coach are not home in bed but are engaging in’ some other activity.

Football involves strenuous bodily contact’ and there are boys that are not physically suited for the game. Also there are boys mentally unfit. By this I do not mean they are less intelligent than ~ the other boys but I do maintain that any youngster with a fear of the game should be introduced cautiously in such a way that the fear will be eliminated rather than increased. Some boys play despite an internal fear of the contact involved and hesitation in blocking @nd tackling often invites injury. I sincerely feel that all boys that have the opportunity should participate in one spot or. another. By 60 doing they learn to work cooperatively, a lesson everyone should get in some way.
