re: Nostalgia thread - who can remember playing tackle at recess?

We played a lot in early 90s. Teachers would try to break it up. We morphed it into "freeze tag football" which was essentially rugby with forward laterals but had to tag whoever had the ball by shoving them to the ground. I think even now in 2017 if boys are left to their own devices without intervention from teachers, games are going to turn out pretty rough...which is a good thing. Maybe you wouldn't have so many kids on meds if you let them actually be kids a little more.
