Ryan's Football Story

A really funny thing happened at Ryan's flag football yesterday. After the game was over the coach from the other team came across the field to talk to me about Ryan. I didn’t know it but he is an assistant coach for Bingham High School. He asked if Ryan was playing tackle football in the fall. I told him that I was thinking about it but wasn't sure. He then began to talk to me about a "Super Football League". I guess this league takes the best players and helps prepare them for high school and college football. This coach finds his players by watching kids while coaching flag football games. He told me that the head coach of this tackle team is somehow affiliated with the arena football league and all of the assistant coaches are assistant coaches for Bingham High School. I have two questions. Do they really recruit 8 year old kids and if so can I get him a signing bonus?
