Description
Friday Night Tykes next turns its lens on one of the great football hotbeds of America; Western Pennsylvania, where football is life. "Friday night Tykes: Steel Country" will dig deep into the birthplace of football legends. The 10-episode series spin-off will focus on Beaver County, where youth football is not a pastime, but a birthright, and young children are pressured to become superstars, not just from parents and coaches, but their entire communities. The documentary series is about more than just football, it’s about the choices parents are making for their children, and the community that surrounds America’s favorite sport. Youth football embodies the essence of these small working class towns. The game acts as a bond connecting the community culturally, socially and emotionally. In a place where the majority of the population has next to nothing, youth football is everything.
