I've done our youth tackle football for going on 10 years now. Is it possible to get your bell rung, absolutely. Are the days of someone getting their bell rung and then being sent back out there, from what I can see, yes. With my oldest playing high school and middle in Jr High it's really easy to see the kids who have played before and those who haven't. I've got 2 that have wrestled for years and agree that it seems more physical as someone else mentioned. If they're out doing stuff with bikes, other unorganized sports with kids ect there is just as much opportunity there.

I can't say that I love the fact that they're playing tackle that early but boy it really helps out the coaches later on. I've been shocked by how little most kids know about football period. A bunch can be accomplished by watching and explaining positions and jobs in a good college game.
