Is it illegal to tackle around the legs in NFL?
unemployedhandmodel
Just handing out stiff arms
dawggunner
I knew a kid who played tackle football since this age. He didn't graduate high school, and couldn't spell his name without help.

Step 1: Be considerably more massive than your opponents.
ilovebigmutts
Coached and played most of my life. I've seen that hundreds of times.
purdhapley
TBF. That was some piss poor tackling. Amateur hour out there.
BigStew83
I coached flag fb of kids about the same age, and got just as excited as the coach when we did good.Had a parent tell me I need to tone down
Put that kid on angry runs.

That kid looks two years older than the rest!
optimusgoose
He's just huge and really good at the sport - that's why he's one of the top RB's in the NFL today
chestbroman
I was about to say he looks a little bigger than the other kids. Put him in the correct age group and that stiff arm isn't as effective

Fun fact, I blocked him in my high school football game junior year at half his weight on special teams while the UNC coach scouted
Needless to say if he wanted to he could have pushed me out the back of my own end zone. Dude was scary
Clydefrogger
That name alone deserves its own recognition.

He is bigger than them all.

Slower too, look at how many kids caught up with him

100% legit. Gotta get low and tackle around the waist.
rocketbear30
Legal to punch the face mask. Not legal to grab and pull/twist.
11thstalley
It’s called a “stiff arm”. It’s such an acceptable and legal tactic that the Heisman Trophy depicts a player about to use it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff-arm_fend
TakeTheStairs
its actually a legal move in football :( its just the size difference between this kids at this age that makes them devastating
blumpk1npie
I don't watch it. Are you allowed to tackle round the waist or ankles? In rugby you aren't allowed to high tackle (but they don't have pads)
i couldnt list all the rules for tackles in the NHL, but suffice it to say that in recent years guys were targetting heads for 1/2
helmet-to-helmet contact and when players started raising concerns about concussions other plyers/coaches/fans responded with"if you cant2/3
..take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen" and "its a mans battle"
NFL*** ffs
Someshithead241
Also the fact that most of the kids there probably don't want to be there and definitely look like they don't want to tackle.
DTNemes
What makes you think that?

Various kid football leagues will have restrictions on height and weight for this reason.

The kids in purple seem to be at the top of the age bracket. All of them seem bigger than the other team's kids.

This is actually the reason why most NHL players are born in Jan/Feb. They get the attention, so they get good.

The purple team is probably coached by people who think the league is an actual competition and only play the biggest kids they have, so /2
2/ they while the floor with the less competitive teams coached by people who just want kids to have fun and exercise.

I had a season where every team we met were at least a year older, some trouble with the number of teams in each age bracket I think

I was 5'6" at 10 years old which put me 7" above the 99th percentile. Absolutely demolished in football and soccer. Only got to 5'10" though
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
Did you get injured at some point? A major injury while growing can cause the energy used for growing to be diverted.
GonzoRunner
How did it feel peaking at 10 years old?
Madd2Matt
I hear you - 6' tall at 14, definitely going to the NBA. 6' tall at 18, definitely not
physicsisalwaysrelevant
I was similarly tall. Made the middle school basketball team despite not being able to shoot. Rebound king.
IUpvoteLOTRMemes
There were always those kids that hit puberty in 5th grade. That's usually their peak, no offense.
Churchofthesubgenius
I didn’t quite have the height, but I hit puberty at 10 as well. By 8th grade was 5,9 180 lbs. then everyone around me got taller through HS

Yeah most likely. A good coach gets excited for all the kids when they make awesome plays. Least all the good coaches I had did.
LamontOfNazareth
Looks like the coaches are on the field.
