My 10th grader starts football practice today. He has been playing since he was 7 or 8 years of age. The community teams in our city are pretty affordable, it's the equipment that empties pockets, wallets, purses and that big ole jar of change that you keep on the dresser. And of course, his feet grew 1 1/2 sizes this summer so he needs new cleats. But we have been blessed to have very decent coaches and great booster clubs so it is always worth the cost. Oh! and we tackle (some pun intended) that socialization concern that people have. LOL
