Are you ready for some football?

We have entered a different world.  The world of football.  Am I the only one who had no idea what an insane world this really is??

Thunder signed on to be the head coach, and we didn't realize quite how big of a commitment it would be.  But he truly LOVES it!  It has been neat to watch him with the boys.

The team is composed of 1st and 2nd graders and we have been practicing 3 times a week.  We were informed that we were the only team in the league doing this (every other team was practicing 5 times!!)

Most parents have stayed to watch every practice.  They are very involved with keeping their kids competitive and in line.

We have gotten to do a lot of cheering.  There is a park near the practice field that the kids enjoy.  I suppose I don't really need to attend practice since my own husband is the coach, but I enjoy watching.  It's exciting to watch the boys learn something for the first time.

They had their first scrimmage already, but no official games until next week.  Some of the kids were so nervous to play in front of the crowd on a big field at the scrimmage that they cried.  It's a lot for them to take in at this age!

They learned a lot out there, and so did the coaches.

It will be a fun season!
