10.04.2008: Drake's Flag Football

So, I think I mentioned that we decided to sign Drake up for flag football this year...seeing as how his body seems to be made for it! He is the same size as many of the 8 year olds out there...and he is only 6. Not to mention super fast too! So, Vince and I have been practicing with him in the evenings and weekends when we have him. He has caught on really really well. He can throw a perfect spiral, he can catch most of the balls thrown to him, and he can run! Still needs to practice the tucking of the ball though! Oh, and Vince Jr is going to teach him some end zone celebration dances.....that will be interesting!!

He had his first game on Sat, and did really well! He also scored his first touchdown. The team as a whole did amazing...considering how they just looked in practice on Thurs night!! I don't think they won though...oh well...more about the fun at this age anyways!! Here are some pics from both practicing at the park, and his first game. It is a lot of fun for us...and reminds me of Brent & Kenny's football days! This will be fun to watch Drake grow into the sport!!
