Ah... That's on one of those fancy smancy channels I don't get!

[Rabid Cougar]

Tried watching it but too much like "Dance Moms".

Man we watched and the guys they call coaches are a joke cussing had the kids cussing telling the kids to jump offside and cheap shot the center I could go on and on, I just wanted to throat punch all of them. One of the so called coaches started to cry after losing his first game said it was the biggest day of his life. People like this ruin kids and ruin football.

Disgusting. Those coaches are an embarrassment to adults and shouldn't be allowed around children. That is not an accurate portrayel of youth football, at least not around here.

that one coach said 'this football is all I have in my life, it's everything to me' 7,8 ad 9 year old youth football, we're talking about - dude - get a life :1omg!:

This is totally disgusting and makes us all look bad.

If nothing else its got a lot of folks talking...............I saw it on 2 different news channels last night where they were debating the show.

As someone who coaches youth football and is involved in administration of our local organization, this series will make it harder on the good leagues. I push my kids hard to be tuff, conditioned, and disciplined, but I would never allow my kids to play for idiots like the ones in TYFA.

My kids haven't lost a game or scrimmage since 2011, we do things right and safe. Im glad USA Football spoke up about Friday Night Tykes. We in LH are affiliated with USA Football and their Heads Up program.

These coaches didn't strike me as +win coaches(** +win coach means one who will take a team and add wins to their potential**) The teams have lots of talent, but the kids probably aren't benefiting from the experience as much as they should.

These guys are all about themselves, I don't see them caring about the kids. Like the coach of the Broncos saying that the first game of the season was the biggest day of his life, really? The team Mom on his team said that he wants to win and that's why they are there, he went 4-3 for the Fall 2013, the season this episode was filmed in..... I guess its the kids fault right?

Make no mistake, football is a hard game and isn't for every kid, and you cant approach it softly, but you are headed in the right direction if you can follow the plan below:

Youth Coaches should teach:
- Sound and Safe Fundamentals of the game of Football
- Equip the kids with a viable system that they will use
- When you are done they should know the game better and have a greater love for it.

Rip his head off? Cut him with a knife to make him bleed? hmmm

The producer of Friday Night Tykes was on Sports Radio 610 in Houston this afternoon.

Very sad. These guys are pathetic. Truly pathetic.

[Cruboi12]

The show is a joke. TYFA coaches are people that never played much in their so called "prime" days in high school. The first two episodes show horrible ethics by letting kids cuss like no other and very poor character in showing how to play the game of football that we all love.

[ccmom]

Wow....just watching the clip was disturbing enough. I certainly won't be watching an episode.

[jacket98,99]

I'm with you. How anyone can sit and watch this and see it as entertainment is no better than the coaches in that clip. I'm also wondering how any parent would put up with having these men coach their kids?

[pirate4state]

I'm clueless about this show...are all the teams from Texas?

Yes.. not just San Antonio https://www.tyfa.com/

I see that two coaches have been suspended. One for a year, the other for six games.

Man I thought I was alittle too tough when I coached youth football. My wife always said I was harder on my own kid and it wasnt fair. She was right. I think I was harder on my little league all star players about winning than the football teams I coached. Something about those all star district and regional tournaments! Lol. I won't be watching much of these shows, if any. It didn't do anything for me.

Looks like something good has come from this series.

Those guys have to be nuts any person with half a lick of common sense would of clean their act up for tv but some of those guys are out of control and working/teaching little kids.
