Are You Ready for Some FOOTBALL??

Matt has been wanting to play football for about a year now.  It seems we always have something going on so we weren't sure how to fit it in.  So Doug found a casual winter league and we are up and running.  The boys practice on Saturday mornings and play right after.  Doug said he would "help" coach but I think now he is officially the offensive coordinator.  Both my boys love it! Here's our little team that includes Matt's great friends, Caden and Cole.

This is a flag football league as you can see.  I am VERY much against boys this young playing tackle football when they can have just as much fun playing flag football.  This league is 6-8 year olds and these three fall on the young end but do just fine. 

Matt loves playing defense and is typically the first to get to across the line of scrimmage.  He's still learning how to pull flags which is not as easy as it looks.  He's already scored twice on defense getting 2 safety's!  On offense the kids are rotating position but Matt looks great in the QB position.  He throws great spirals but we don't pass too much.  He has gotten to play running back and did score a touchdown but man...not the speediest kid I've seen.  I was literally on the sidelines running in hopes to make him move faster!!

What makes me laugh is that I think having a mouth piece makes these boys feel like they're playing in the NFL.  They love them!  I am disgusted by them and then even more so when they fall on the ground and they pick them up and put them back in their mouth!   

What also make me laugh is this! Poor Cole...might as well crawl through there to get the ball.  Matt barely snaps it back!  Hilarious!

A big thanks to Dad for helping these boys!  This is so much fun and at the moment...Matt's favorite sport!
