I’m just looking for how many kids participated in youth football programs in the US. If you have/find the statistics, please provide a link as it would be a great help. I’m mostly interested in tackle football, although flag football stats are alright too. I know in Canada, we have Hockey Canada which sort of governs all minor hockey programs in Canada and keeps stats such as the # of participants. I’m not sure if there is one governing body for American football, but if there is a similar organization in the US, what is it?
