I help coach my son's 7th grade football team. Yesterday after practice, us coaches got into a pretty heated debate about whether or not to require our players to use a cup. Most of these kids have not & don't even really know what one is. I say they are uncomfortable, make running feel awkward and getting hit in the nuts doesn't seem to occur often; therefore, let the players/parents decide. One of our other coaches is adamant that we require all the kids wear them. What do my fellow scroller's think?
