Jerry Norton scores in this youth football book !.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mom, Can I Play Football? (Paperback)
Seldom does a book provide readability and yet remain on your shelf as a reference. Jerry Norton has captured the world of youth football in his book. His stories of kids caught in the act of playing the greatest team sport ever, will warm your heart. As a football coach I was impressed with his grasp of the fundementals of football. As a parent and Youth League Executive I was impressed with his compassion for kids and the way they see the world. Jerry gets down on one knee and looks youth football in the eye,and the sport will be better for it. Anyone, in any youth sport should read and remember "Mom, can I play Football."
