I waited til the 8th Grade before I did full contact football.
I think it depends on the body as well. Some of my friends have knee issues and they played Pee-Wee football while others did not. I just waited so that my body was more mature and I never had any issues or major injuries. The worst that happened to me was I charged the hole on a blitz and ran smack into the RB who had lowered his head. Pretty big boom and we both flew backwards, I got up after a few seconds of WTF just happened, the other guy didn't return to the game. He fumbled and we recovered haha. I didn't exhibit any concussion symptoms, so I was right back out there on the next defensive series.
But as long as the big bucks are offered, people will play.
