Friday Night Tykes, Season 1

With exclusive access to the eight to nine year-old Rookies division in the San Antonio region of the Texas Youth Football Association, the first season of Friday Night Tykes follows five teams on and off the field throughout the 2013 season, from pre-season training through the state championships. Along the way, cheerleaders cheer, tailgaters barbecue and the crowd goes wild, but intense rivalries flare, parents and coaches clash and the young players face some very adult pressures and concerns, from extreme training drills, heckling from rabid fans and balancing on-the-field expectations against a typical off-the-field childhood.
