Having been a commisioner for Youth Football leagues in the past (as well as a coach for close to 40 years), I have the following opinions, which are strictly my own:
1. Don't start them TOO early. 10 years old is about right. 12 years old is perhaps even better. Don't ask young men who haven't even undergone puberty to display their "manhood" (which football DOES) too soon!!!
2. Use "HEADS-UP" tackling & blocking!!! See video link below:
