Is american football advisable without protective gear?

will playing american football on a soccer field without any armor advisable? Me and my friends have agreed to use minimal power during tackles to avoid heavy injuries

Me and my friends played tackle without equipment when we were younger and we're still alive.

I doubt everyone will stick to the agreement that you have tho.

All the best to you.

i wouldnt advise it the soccer field isnt manly enough to play football on

Are you nut. with all the Protective gears players wear, they get injured and hurt.

so far, two major injuries happened for two players from buffalo and Texas .

one more thing, soccer is not football.

I guess all our mothers would say we're idiots for playing without equipment but all over canada and the states there are pick up games played. Mostly everyone walks away with some bruises and scrapes. People are going to get hurt especially if you guys have never played before. One question, how are you supposed to use minimal power when tackling?? The idea is to hit the ball carrier so hard that the ball pops out or hit him hard enough that the ball carrier hits the ground. Try playing flag football if your worried about getting hurt.Get everyone to take some kind of rag and put it in their back pocket. When the rag gets pulled out your tackled.
Tackling in American football isnt the same as rugby. In rugby you get pulled to the ground, In football you try to go right though the person.

hope i was some help

Nah you'll be fine if its just you kids playing. The reason they need so much protection in college and the NFL is because the guys there are 290 lbs of pure muscle that can run a 40 in 4.5 seconds. They train themselves every day for years to deliver the biggest, hardest hits they can. When they hit you, they come at you like a Ford F350 and you feel it. When your 160 lb friend tries to wrap you up and pull you down, its not quite the same.

As long as you use common sense its fine. Dont hit your heads together, you can still get concussions....no hits below the waist, no reason to blow your ACL or MCL out over pickup football...that kinda stuff :)
