Our Football Player

Our second oldest has always wanted to play tackle football. This year his dream came true.



He has been playing the last month and a half on a city league team, the Dolphins.








Originally he wanted to play running back, because he is very quick and can pretty much get away from anyone. Soon, however, he found that he is a talented defensive end. His quickness is just as valuable on defense.





And stopping the offense is a lot of fun. He has played defensive end and safety and has been a real asset to his team.





He has gotten some good advice from his coaches and also his Dad as he learns how to respond to different offensive plays.



We have spent several evenings a week at the football field. It has been enjoyable for our whole family to come support him.



Our oldest often helps out with the chain gang.




Our football player has learned some valuable lessons from his time on the field.




Only two weeks left...
