Doyle Family Foundation runs <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flagfootballforkids.com\" target=\"_blank\">Flag Football for Kids<\/a>, an Internet resource platform. They have discovered that parents are many times misinformed about the causes of&nbsp;CTE.&nbsp;They believe professional players got CTE from concussions experienced while playing professionally.&nbsp;But the Doyle Foundation&nbsp;learned&nbsp;that the head blows these professional players received as child football players initiated CTE.&nbsp;That is why they are highlighting&nbsp;Youth Flag football&nbsp;as a healthy gateway to eventually playing&nbsp;tackle football and&nbsp;avoiding CTE.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\" style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is common for children and enthusiastic coaches to focus on tackle football sign-ups to ensure a bright sports future. But research now shows kids in the ages of 8 to 14 should not be playing tackle football since their skeletal structures are not sufficiently developed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Doyle Foundation President Denny Doyle said: &ldquo;Our&nbsp;mission is to&nbsp;protect children&rsquo;s long-term health and prevent head blows at a time their brains are undergoing rapid development.&rdquo; Children&nbsp;gain&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;competitive&nbsp;advantages&nbsp;and&nbsp;discipline required to later play contact football&nbsp;playing&nbsp;from their&nbsp;early Flag football competitions&nbsp;without&nbsp;potential&nbsp;long-term&nbsp;damage to their health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dennis M. and Lois A. Doyle Family Foundation is an organization that is championing the cause of using Flag Football for Kids to protect children from falling prey to CTE later in life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/flagfootballforkids.com_50424.html\">The Dennis M.
