Well he just started playing 2 weeks ago in Flag Football. He is too young to play tackle yet but he is having fun. Saturday he had his first game.
His birthday is late in the season so he is the youngest kid out there.
I am proud of him as his coach says he is a sponge and is soaking in everything about the game. He is upset with himself when he does not do something right on the field. I have put no pressure on the kid. He just wants to do it right and not make mistakes.....
Here are a few pictures of his first carry in a game. Sorry for the kids in the way but we asked them to move so we could get the picture but they did not listen and continued to run after him...LOL
He got the ball running to the left and cut back up the middle.....
Now he went through the hole and headed up the field.....
Striking the Hiesman pose already....stiff armed the girl that was playing safety...
Continuing upfield...
Still going.....1 person to beat....
Still going.....
They still have not got his flags...
And they finally get him.... darn it, nothing but green in front of him....LOL
He also went down the field on the kickoff after they scored and instead of just grabbing flags, he decided it was easier to level the other kid....Well cant say he was right on that one. It looked like something you see on Sundays....Big Collision. He then grabbed the flag off the other kid while they were on the ground and held it up......I had to tell him that this is not a tackle league.....He said he did not mean to do it....
And just like in the NFL.....Colts 21(His Team) - Chargers 14(Other Team).....That was the best part....Chargers losing.
Thanks for looking.
