The life of Football has begun!!!
Tadje is 8 ---which means---it is all STARTING!
I had agreed to football this year...but little did I know!
Practices 4 nights a week.
A game every Saturday (rain or shine).
We are talking "die hard."
Paul had volunteered to co-coach!
Boy, did we have a GREAT time!
Coach Smith and the boys!
Half-Time banner run through and cheering!
The line up.
Tadje and "Coach."All is all, it was a really FUN experience!
The weather held out for us right up to the playoff game!
The Coach taught the boys to play a "fair" game.
No cheating, swearing, face-masks, talking bad, or screaming.
I know Tadje really admired him.
They made it to the play-off game!
The game went into DOUBLE overtime.
And....we lost by one point.
(Sniffle-Sniffle).
It was a disappointment,
and hard to watch all those boys come off the field in tears.
But they played their hearts out.
They played fair.
They learned alot.
They made some GREAT friends.
Who could ask for more!
