The Last Double-Header of this short season...

This week we played our last double-header of this short season & my team finally found their passing game.  Now, I am not saying that we haven't thrown the ball before or that we haven't completed any passes throughout the season... We just have been mostly a running team, which for most 5-6 year old's is normal... 

However, I knew that we could do it & it just took my normal "starting QB" to say, "I wanna catch the ball" for my son to step up & actually want to throw the ball.  Now, I have said this before; I didn't want to be like most coaches who MAKE their child QB.  I know my son is a good runner & a good defender so, I let him focus on that throughout the season & practice.  

Heck I was more impressed that he ran the plays so well & that he asked to keep lining up under center that I figured I'd give it a shot.  What does he do?  He throws 3 passes. 1 for a first down. 1 for a short gain. & the last pass for a TD!!! *Thank you Mr. Receiver (Who else but the Starting QB) for making some nifty moves & scoring! 

One of my favorite things about the first game was listening to the other coach telling his team to "Watch the Center!!! Watch the Fumblerooskie"  So, I decided to let them not get their wish... Not with the players that they saw the play run last time... It was a great game!

Our Second game was a good game too.  We ran the ball. We threw the ball & we had some really good plays... I came home elated that my older son's game had gone well & he was the defensive star again. 

I can't believe that this upcoming week is the end of the season.  I am seriously already getting my play book ready for regular Flag football where Blocking & QB Sneaks are actually allowed.  Now... I said this before & I will just let my readers know it again: We WILL run the flea flicker next week... Watch out for it!!!

GO RAVENS!!
