Broad observation: I have coached lower level high school football for over 20 years in a very affluent area with a large school and have seen everything from 120 player freshman teams and 70 member sophomore teams where we played 3 levels of freshman and two sophomore and 7 overall at the top. Down to 35 freshman and 30 sophomore and 3 levels in the same school and league.
It seems that numbers are going up but not consistently around the league. We played an out of league game against an even more affluent (Less than 1% community) that had even better numbers and hit and played unbelievable. I am wondering if the dads in these communities all played and really value the game? Is anyone else seeing this?
I understand that this is outside the norm for most the professionals here, but I am curious if the game may be focused on the kids whose parents really value their experiences.
