hi guys
i am not an official. i am a football mom and a little disturbed by our youth football organizations philosophy of the game of football. we follow IHSA rules. what does the IHSA consider a game of play? let me give you an example. for the 'not so good' kids our league allows for the child to go on the field, take a knee and walk off the field (poison). our rules require a child to have a minimum of 5 mandatory plays per game, following IHSA rules. my concern is that those 6-8 year loose their love for the game of football when this is all they do. is there anywhere specified in the IHSA rules what is and is not considered a 'play'. please advise. also please advise if metal cleats are allowed. thank you in advance.
