The only thing negative that is coming out of this is that my opponents will probably be forced to bird dog plays which will make them better  |

What are they defining as "contact?"

I agree with coach tut. Good thing for me we play by grade only and not Pop Warner. After I read the article I went through my practice plans and we only hit about 40-45 min of practice.

Looking at our practice plans, we only had about 40 mins of real, solid, contact-to-ground. We never went head-up from more than a one yard neutral zone, except when our two genii rammed each other like mountain goats during an open-field tackling drill once.
Our problem is that we have no money (our team supplies are one TDY and a CFL ball I brought from home, as well as 15 cones) so we don't have dummies, bags, shields, nothing. We have to use each other as dummies. We're not killing one another out there, but if that counts, we'd be dead. If we were PW.
