These kids are playing like PROs! They have a lot to be proud of. I want my son in Football, and Tucker Lions' footbal is the closest, but I could drive further and go to the Candler Park Colts. so here is a question... Ok.. so I am looking for input from someone who has worked with a Youth Football League, in a racially diverse League.... first know that I am white, slightly above average income, my wife is latin, I am not racist, and I enjoy my friends as extended family, and I have blue-collar african-american friends in that extended family. Ok.. so all that said.. my son is new to football.. and he is thick and strong and big.... he can take a hit in karate but he isn't super tough. I am wondering 1) will he be accepted and if we don't give him reason to focus on it, will he care about being the only white kid, 2) is the Tucker League well organized, 3) is he tough enough to play these young african-american boys versus mostly white boys in the Candler park teams, and 4) is there anything I can get him exposed to now? Are there Football camps in spring? Thanks RealDad This is awesome! These kids are playing like PROs! They have a lot to be proud of.
