Flag Football

We signed Zachary up for flag football. The team was supposed to be a 6 & under team and we thought that'd be great for him, since he's 5. HOWEVER, they changed it to a 10 & under team, which we know is not great for him, SINCE HE'S 5.

Here's who he is supposed to block while playing defense:

Here he is, again (the furthest kid in red), lined up playing defense against the other team:

Here's his coach helping him understand where to go & what to do. He gets a little confused because of all the motion on the field, but the kid still runs his little heart out wherever the coach told him to run!

Here he is using proper Right Arm Up (RAU as his coach refers to it) for a hand off (he's #7). He ran across the field well on this play, but as he cut to move forward, those giant boys came after him and he (instinctively?) started to run the other way!

Overall, it's a great learning experience. I'm disappointed it's a more difficult learning experience since he's playing with/against kids who have played for 4 years. That is a HUGE difference in ability. But he likes it a lot and is having fun, so it's all good!
