Editor's Note:
Over the past two years, American football has gradually become a "new fashion" trend for many Chinese kids especially when it comes to attaining the fitness goal.
Some parents who plan to let their children pursue higher studies abroad in the near future hope that learning the skills of American football can help their kids adapt better to the lifestyle abroad.
A representative of the Great Stone Gridiron training school said that they had less than 200 students three years ago, but now the numbers have soared to more than 2,000. However, with the skyrocketing popularity of American football among juveniles, there still lie many challenges such as equipment, venues, parents' misunderstanding and so forth. Thus, if the government wants to further promote this sport among teenagers focus needs to be put on overcoming the problems.
