Hi Biglock,
Greetings to you my friend. I can see that your heart is really into trying to make a difference in the life our youth. Yes the youth of today are far more advanced than we were growing up. A 12 year old today probably knows as much as I did when I turned 21.
Here is my suggestion. If you recall when I responded to your post on Miggle a few years ago. For starters when it comes to rules use the K.I.S.S. method and that is KEEP IT SWEET & SIMPLE but make it fun and interesting. Find out what the kids know about football and go from there. Who knows if a 12 year old is pretty knowledgeable and advanced for his age then challenge him with a different rule set. I would definitely encourage having them play with custom figures. That would be a strong selling point because of the realism. I doubt if they will be very excited playing with a standard figure versus one that is customized. That is my .02 cents worth.
Good luck on this venture and keep us posted.
Coach J
