I think youth football (pre-HS) is being even harder hit. Today's Washington Post (in the "On Parenting" newsletter): 

Repetitive hits, concussions, and a mother’s long goodbye to youth football

I don't believe kids need to play football before middle school. We didn't let our son. My wife didn't want him playing at all. My reason was different. He would have been the fastest kid on the field. I didn't want some yahoo coach telling players to go for his knees.

Kids should play flag football before middle school. A lot of coaches and pros believe this.
