Is 11-on-11 Football Still the Right System?

What if the problem isn't football? What if it's the system we've built around it?After Nolan's local high school canceled the remainder of its varsity football season because of low participation and injuries, we started asking a bigger question: Is 11-on-11 tackle football still the right format everywhere?In this episode, we talk about declining participation in some parts of the country, eight-player football, the growth of flag football, safety, rural schools and what happens when programs have no option between doing things the way they've always been done and canceling altogether.Because maybe preserving the format isn't the goal.Maybe the goal is getting more kids playing, moving, developing and experiencing everything sports can give them.
