My 8 year old son is on traveling team here in jawja, the league his team is in follows the GHSA guide lines (just like HS ball). They've been practicing for 3 or 4 weeks and the past Monday were allowed to start wearing helmets. This up coming Monday will be allowed to go to full pads. They keep telling us there's going to be a season but the first game of the season which was scheduled Aug 14 has already been cancelled. I believe that has more to do with the location (Albany where there was a major outbreak) of the first game then the current outlook of the covid.
Why do they start football so early? It seems the HS seasons are starting earlier too (in August). HS football didn't start until September when I was in HS.
