Ready or not, it is time to start football. My 52-lb 2nd grader is so excited about playing football, he can hardly wait. I thought practicing in 100+ tempatures would deter his enthusiasm. I was wrong!
He practiced on Monday and Tuesday evenings this week, just in practice pants and helmets. Next week, they will start practicing in pads. Luke has been playing running back in the first two practices. We will see what all positions he will play by the end of the season. There are about 15 players, so they will be playing "both ways."
These last pictures were taken with my cell phone so the quality isn't the greatest. Avery wanted to sign up for cheerleading. She will cheer with 4-5 year olds at the flag foot ball games. Here she is trying on a sample uniform to get her size ordered. 
Luke has a really small head, we had to add extra padding to the helmet to keep it from covering up his eyes when he runs. 
I am really impressed with how hard Luke works at practice. When they run sprints, he runs his hardest and fastest every time. He doesn't complain or whine at all. We are looking forward to a fun first football experience. Go Indians!
