My 8 year old decided to play tackle football this year. Game day Practices on Saturdays, games Sunday.
Had our first game today against the best team in our league. They looked like monsters compared to our kids.
2 plays in, My little guy blows his assignment and allowed a long score. Nothing worse then a deflated and sad 3rd grader. I did my best Dr. Phil to stop the tears.
I couldn't be more proud. He and the rest of team sucked it and the defense didn't allow another yard the rest of the game.
We lost in sudden death. But with only 2 weeks of practice, 90's high humidity, and bigger opponent, they played their hearts out.
If they keep that effort up- we will see them in the playoffs in a couple months.
