Save yourself and your child a lot of dissapointment!
Pro's
In the past it was the only place to play tackle in the spring in Austin(up until this year)
Con's
-They don't enforce they're weight limits
-They allow a dangerously wide age gap to play against each other, like 2nd graders vs 5th graders!!!Don't believe me?? Just look at a flyer - 7,8,9,10 year olds are in the same division. They have 11 yr olds playing against 14 year olds??? Scary!
-They lie to you about practice field availablity
-They say they have strict weight limits but half the time there's no one at the field to weigh kids in.
-They're playing field is pathetic.
-The games are only one hour.
-They allow new kids to join teams all throughout the season (as long as their money's green!)
-The refs aren't trained appropriately for there own rules.
-They have different rules each week.
-Games are frequently behind schedule
-Refs don't always show up to the games
-The jerseys are a JOKE. They probably cost $3.00 and they give you a range of #'s in order so if you have 12 guys on your team you might get #'s 49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58 etc...
-They say they have a playoff and championship??
Since when can ANYONE play in the playoffs? They allow any team to come to the state tournament and anyone can go to the so called national tournament in San Diego.
Never again!
