Monday Night Football

This Spring we let David try out Football through the Monday Night Football program at the State College Assembly of God Church.  The program is for boys ages 6 -13.  They started each night out with a skills lesson, then had a discussion related to a biblical principle and then played flag football.  

They had six teams of 6-7 year olds.  After the first session David said he LOVED it.  It showed too.  He had no fear of getting pushed around.  He was very aggressive.  We have no worries about his confidence level for sports.

Here's David taunting the other team.  Yeah, that's my kid!  :-)

They do really cute little huddles and they all put their arms around each other.  It was super cute.  

The take several water/gatorade breaks during the session.  At each one I remind David that I have his thermos, but he pretends not to know me and walks over to the gatorade cooler with the other boys.  Mom's thermos is just not cool.

Here's my David making a touchdown.  He was so excited after he got to do it.  I think he had trouble sleeping that night.  This fall David will have to decide between signing up for flag football or soccer.  He's already said it will be a tough decision.  He has loved this program.
