Tom Dompier Browse All Authors Top 3 quotes by Tom Dompier My son is 6 and he played (flag) football last year and probably will this year. If he does play tackle football next year, it will be under two conditions. One is whether we can find equipment that fits and the second condition is that the league will have to go through Heads-Up Football, after going through these three years of study, I believe that coaching education should be mandatory. Tom Dompier health In my own mind, I think coach education is important, and I think the data collected shows that it's important, i don't want to promote USA Football over someone else's program. But I think it's important coaches receive some training in proper tackling and equipment fitting. Tom Dompier health If my son in a year or two wants to play tackle football and can find equipment that fits him, I'll let him do it, up to age 14, he's more likely to get a concussion on the playground or his bicycle than he is playing football.
