In regards to Ned's post on when does football season end -
Our youth football practices started the end of July. Our season finished two years ago the first weekend in November and last year, the last weekend in October.
Our youth team did not qualify for the "state" so some even went another week or two.
For some of you, yes I'm sure it is and can be a long season. However, locally we don't start practicing with the membership until after Thanksgiving and generally don't attend our first tournament until mid-December.
If it's too long, don't start so early OR take some breaks throughout the season, especially for the younger guys!! Let them spend the night with a friend or watch cartoons on Saturday morning.
