  6. STJFL Weight Limits

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    I think it has less to do with "weight" and more to do with MUSCLE MATURITY. A 7 yo who weighs 90 pounds is not nearly the same as a 11 yo who weighs 90 pounds. Ive seen peewee kids who weigh 75 pounds but take them and line them up with a senior league kid who weighs 75 pounds..which there are plenty of...and there is no match up. Im pretty sure its more to do with this than the other.

  7. PN-G vs Texas City Predictions

    I think I see a trend starting...each week all I read is how PNG will have a rough week. Staring with BH...which granted was 21-20...then Crosby with their "superman" QB... this week it is an unstopable running game. Hey..i'll take 2-0 and welcome all the nay sayers at this point. I was worried about last weeks Crosby game to be honest...this week Im more curious mixed with a minor piece of worried. Just another chance for PNG to prove what they have. Lets see how we handle the run this week and see what everyone has to say next week.  Im predicting PNG by 14+

    Look, I agree it was hot. But the kids can play football in that heat. As long as the coaches sub them sufficiently. My problem is that there needs to be more adequate shelter on the sidelines for them to cool down a bit before getting back out there. I do believe that the 10 min quarters are excessive. But as someone said, that is to get the kids their 10 plays. I have coached on all levels middle school to varsity...and I believe with the conditions we have...10 min. quarters are to much.

    Although, I coached a game in Nederland Sat. at 1:30. (In black jerseys) We had shelter on the sideline, a 10x10 ,a whole ice chest of towels and rags iced down, and plenty of water. I took all the precautions of the kids in mind, and still my son said..."Dad, why did you take me out of the game so much?"

    I'm all for early games or night games. But until this situation is resolved. Some big tents, portable fans and other such thing would be great. The only thing that matters is, WHAT'S BEST FOR THE KIDS!!!!

    Good post...and pretty much sums up my feelings...some good ideas there.

    i had a long good response to ya raider44 but... in short..everyone has their opinions...and i dont agree with you...at the high school level yes....at 9-10 years old no.

    there should be a set limit on temperatures.... its very dangerous regardless of how tough you think it makes the 6 year old flag kids on saturdays. ( Even a time limit or longer mandatory half time..something)

    Next lightning storm and a game gets cancelled..lets give em all long steel rods and have em hold those while they play..that'll toughen em up. ( More kids die from heat related illness's every year than the same amount of lighting strikes over 10 years) and besides..you said it best..we do live in SOUTHEAST TEXAS for pete's sake..we should act like we have a brain and let it reflect in our decisions when dealing with our kids safety.

    Im all for a mercy rule in youth sports...i actually think the 10 run rule is a great rule in little league baseball...we are here to protect these kids physically and mentally.

    The kiddos playing 3-5 baseball games on Sunday..should have been sitting in Church.. THATS whats wrong with the world today.

    This isnt Marine Boot Camp...it's junior league football... does em no good to be tough and all at 9-10 if they end up hating the game and dont choose to play in high school.... and I'll leave it to a man named Faircloth to prepair my boys for two-a-days. They are ten..im pretty sure it doesnt take 6 years to get in shape for two a days .

    hey but to each his own...your intitled to your opinion...like me  mine..i tend to go overboard with safety stuff...im a fireman/medic by trade and have dealt with plenty of kids with heat injuries...scary thing when dealing with kids. they crash fast.

    I hate to hear scores like that in little league sports.  It is a difficult situation for everyone involved, but I feel bad for the Young Indians.  And as to the heat, it is WAY too hot out there.  But very few leagues can afford to have games at night with the lighting and electricity that is neccesary.  I hope it cools down soon, but next weekend looks just as hot as this weekend.

    We didn't want the score to be like that either and you're right it is difficult for both sides. We put alot of different kids in and some that will never carry the ball again. I wish I knew how many different kids scored. We did not run up the score. Yes it was miserably hot out there.

    I understand and hope that you understand that was exactly what I meant in my original post.  But from my experience on both ends of the stick, it is still better to be on the winning end.   ;D

    Yes it is. I thought that's what you meant, I was just trying to squash something before someone started it.

    Without a doubt...score wasnt ran up...purple kids wouldnt have tackled their lil sisters saturday...it was what it was and i'll be the first to say this...WO- White is prob the best team Ive seen at this level period. Good luck to you guys still having to face them...im glad to have it behind us on week one...maybe now I can get the kids to actually show up and play ..hahaha 9-10 year olds...like dr. jeckle and mr hyde. ya just never know.

    WOS White junior - 54

    png purple junior - 0

    PNG was beat before the game even started. On a side note...OMG it had to have been the hottest day for junior league football in the history of the world. MISERABLE..Poor kids..couldnt imagine playing in conditions like that...I dont know why they dont schedule more evening games...I guess when a kid falls out with heat stroke they'll take a look at it. No way in heck boys this age should be playing football in this kind of heat. It's actually kind of dangerous if ya ask me. When a kid crashes from a heat related illness..they crash fast and your in trouble. Hope everyone stays well hydrated this summer.

    all the PNG junior teams had a rotating scrimmage with each other this evning..looked decent.Anyone have an update on the Beaumont jr. teams? A guy at work said he thought it was their first year to play at this level? Anyone know anything about them? Im not even sure what parts of BMT they are from..or is it a city wide thing? I think I noticed someone saying something about certain zones?
