IDK,
Most football players come from rural communities in the deep South and some in the Midwest, but primarily from the deep south.
Plus football is moving for towards flag football for minors. The NFL is investing big in flag football for men and women at the Olympics and at a youth level.
Which I'm for I think flag football for kids is good and fun.
I wonder what age they’ll start doing contact. I would guess high school at the latest. I can’t speak for others but personally I wouldn’t even want my kid to start with flag football if I’d have to make them quit when they got to high school.
I have no problem with flag football in general but I’d hate to get my kid into an activity when I know I’ll have to pull the rug from under them once it starts getting serious.
They're also pushing highschool flag
I think in rural communities you'll have a lot of kids doing contact
But in urban and suburban you'll have a mix of flag and contact
