Now I'm no Don Shula but I'm liking our squad this year and I'm thinking if all goes well, we have a pretty good chance to put some W's up in the win column. An hour flies by with these boys as they're full of energy and wanting to get at it! After warming up, they rotated through stations of passing/route running, hand-off and snap practice, and flag pulling. Fun was had by all and the boys responded very positively to their coaching. Then the real fun came! Scrimmage!
The boys rotated through positions and did a great job learning the plays that we practiced. Can't wait until our next practice on Monday so we can further fine tune those skills!
5:40...quick supper and get ready for the 49ers practice (Abi's team). Once again we had a pretty thin showing (only 6 of 11 girls were there), but a couple of new faces added to the fun. The girls had a blast just warming up, chit-chatting and getting to know one another.
Looks like we have a couple of good additions to our team this year so far. Ran through the same drills as the boys did and it was great to see them taking this so seriously. These girls are sponges. They're so attentive and so want to please and do everything "right". A pleasure to work with. Got a chance to run through plays with the girls as well and they had a blast too! Looking forward to getting the whole squad out on Monday!
To top the evening off, one of Abi's friends (along with a couple of her friends), joined us along with our neighbours from the football game last week too for a little game of touch football. Why not eh? The old saying "time flies when you're having fun" was perfect for the evening! Our touch football game turned into a soccer game and before we knew it, it was almost dark out!
Fantastic evening and fun was had by all!
Can't wait to do it again!
