Hence, I will get the occasional friend request FROM a player (always been a friend of one of my sons). We just have to be VERY careful in this area.

The Catholic League and some others play 6-minute quarters FR and JV while many other leagues play 7-minute quarters.

Based on the directive quoted, the problem is officials making the invites. At least that's how I read it. Your situation is different; my kids are younger (oldest is still in elementary) so I don't have this issue. I'm leary enough about being friends with the young adults who were kids when we moved away from our church 5 years ago.

But I can understand if my kids' friends send requests in a few years.

OTOH, I've already experienced some issues with younger airmen in my unit. There are just some things an NCO doesn't need to know.
