That is the complaint that a lot of us have about the chance of middle school sports being dropped. As a middle school football coach, I would hate to see it go. If the rec league is going to absorb the middle school football players, then they need to look at what the City of Charleston does. They have two rec football teams for each Middle School, a 12-13 yr. old and 13-14 yr. old team. The teams are comprised of kids from that middle school, the uniforms are the school colors, and they use the school name, mascot, and logos. So, without the school having to pay for travel and refs, they are playing. Some of the teachers from the school are the coaches too. They also have to be "academically" eligible to play.
