I don't think you're going to see too many Air Coryell offenses in that age group.

Very true. Our QB can throw maybe 20 yards if he really plants his back foot and does everything correctly. No more than 15 though if you want to see any accuracy.
I think the biggest problem is the size of the football. The kids we have that are big enough to actually hold onto the ball and throw it are linemen out of necessity because they're the biggest kids out there.
for the poster earlier that talked about the leagues being set according to weight, i don't know what its like everywhere else but out here in the sticks they work according to age with a weight limit on who can carry the ball.
Weight based leagues would be interesting but it can be aruged either way I suppose. We just tell our kids "you're smaller than everyone now and you're going to be smaller than everyone in high school. figure out how to work with what you have."
