Flag Football




It's that time again. It's football season. We tried to talk Trevin into playing tackle football but he wasn't too interested and with it being a little pricey I decided that he needed to really want to play before I shelled out that kind of money. We got him signed up on the team with all of the kids in our ward. So far they have lost one game and won the other four. This last Saturday Trevin played a game that made Brett proud. The kids on the other team were having a problem keeping their hands to themselves. In Flag Football there is no contact allowed except to grab the flag from their waist. The kid that Trevin was blocking against forgot the no contact rule and after Trevin pushed him away several times he finally got tired of it and threw a shoulder and knocked the kid to the ground and made him cry. Daddy was proud. After that he caught a pass to make the extra point after the touchdown and then a few plays later he caught an interception and got the team closer to a touchdown. I love to see his face after he has played a game like that. I know it is a self-esteem booster for him to know that he can play well. We love you little football man!!!
