Pop Warner football bans traditional three-point stance

I agree, kids are basically just pushing on each other at this age.  Injuries tend to be contusions on the arms or legs and there is no virtually no dangerous head to head contact.  I'm all for safety, but this is purely cosmetic.

The solution isn't necessarily eliminating the 3 point stance. But kids don't need to be playing tackle football as young as pop warner allows or encourages. USA Football introduced a great model the Northern Indiana Youth Football League uses for 8U called Rookie Tackle. I think 10U, or even 12U, is where kids ought to begin playing tackle football as we know it.
