The days of a 30 man roster are mostly done with youth football the cost has driven parents to wait until 7th grade to allow the kids to suit up for football, most teams are now fielding a game roster of 17 to 20 players .

With families having to make the tough decision to pay bills and keep food on the table less and less kids are signing up for youth sports, this is affecting the game of football at the youth level and will cause coaches to teach football differently coaches are you ready?

Even small communities are feeling the crunch they used to have the draft now organizations are looking at just having enough kids to make up a team.
