This trio is a community-driven powerhouse of commitment and dedication to kids and the game of football.  Listen as this mix of townies and transplants talks about youth football in our community, the popularity peak in the late 80s/early 90s, the fade out in the early 2000s and the rise again as Champaign-Urbana and surrounding towns build and strengthen youth football teams to participate in "the ultimate team sport," their personal experience in college-level football, feelings behind their own children playing football, safety concerns and guidelines and why playing contact football at a young age imprints important safety techniques and finally why we believe there is no other youth sport that fosters development six days a week, two hours a day like this extraordinary program of heart, mental toughness and physical strength.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Pixels by Emily.
