I just want to say how helpful all of these postings have been for me. I searched the internet on "should I I let my son quit football" and found this message board. My son also has asked to quit. He's only 11 and its also his first year. Although my husband played pop-warner through high school football, he never pushed my son to play. This year he came to us and asked to sign up. It's been one month of practices and he asked me this week if he could quit. My husband is very opposed to letting him quit, and I was on the fence. I thought I would make him get through his first game tomorrow and if he still wanted to quit, I would let him, but now I understand why my husband feels so strongly about it. All of this advice has really helped me realize what quitting would actually mean. I'm going try to make him stick it out. I hope both our sons have some fun this weekend! Good luck to you.
