Jonah has wanted to play tackle football for a couple of years, but when it came down to it I think he was too scared. I can understand, I would be scared to play too. This year I knew he wanted to play so I gave him the push he needed to play. I don't want him to run from hard things and I think it is always great to learn something new. Jonah doesn't know the game very well so he is out of his comfort zone.
I think it was all worth it just to see how cute he looks in his uniform! What a stud!
He loves football practice. He has practice three times a week and he is always excited to go. He likes his coaches and he is making new friends on the team.
He started practicing at the beginning of August and there was usually only seven or eight boys at practice. They got some new players in the last week or two, but still haven't had a great turn out to practice. We were excited to see their first game today.
There were 18 players today, which is great because they were worried about having a team for a while.
Jonah played defense today, he played corner. I am learning a lot about football, I constantly have questions for Mel and her boys.
The game went well. It was a little chaotic and unorganized at times, which I figured it would be without everyone at practice. I could see Jonah get more comfortable as the game went on. I'm sure he will grow and improve a lot this year.
Jonah loved the game, he said he had a lot of fun. I'm so glad he is enjoying it so much.
