It doesn't really matter whether it's Clemson football or football somewhere else, getting children involved in team sport play is not just fun, but a great learning environment. There are several things to look for when you're considering getting your kids involved. While there may be many different leagues in your area, you'll need to look for one that is age appropriate. This means finding one where you child is neither too young nor too old for the group they're playing with. In the younger ages such as 5-7 yrs, being the youngest on the team can mean a real difference in physical ability. The opposite can be said for a seven year old child that is playing with a bunch of five year old children. The older child will be no match for the younger and when it comes to weight difference could easily injure a smaller five year old. You'll also want a coaching style that matches your personal style as well. If you're not happy with the staff, neither will your child be happy. While there are a few basics that all coaches use, there is also the difference on how a coach encourages children, so make sure you agree with their style. Then of course, it's all about time. In today's world sometimes just getting through the day can be a hassle. If time is an issue for your family, then find a team that has parents who are willing to help out. In this way your son or daughter can get to practice even if you can't, just make it up to the parents by helping them in some way. Playing Clemson football as a child is a great way to be involved in team sports, just make sure you find the right team for you and your child. Look for one where your child is in the middle of the age range, find one that works for you as far as coaching style, and also, one that fits in with your time schedule.
