Premise
Friday Night Tykes dives in the intense world of youth football and follows the teams of the Texas Youth Football Association on and off the field as they vie for playoffs glory. Among the challenges the players (as young as 8) face are extreme training drills, psychotic irresponsible parents, heckling from fans, and balancing on-the-field expectations with living a typical childhood away from the gridiron.
