Defense Wins Games!

Team Captains - Nathan, Andy & Joey

There's an old saying in football that says, "Defense wins games"... I have to agree after today's game.  My team went out on the field today ready to avenge last weeks loss and they went out with their war faces on.  We had several sacks, an interception and a couple of blocked passes. 

The game went back and forth with no scores after three quarters and finally in the fourth quarter we scored and stopped the Thunderbolts from running or throwing the ball.  This team is younger and smaller than my other teams in the past but still they seem to listen and work just as well, if not better. 

I am really enjoying this season and we're only three games into it.  Next week we will go out there and work on BLOCKING... This seems to be the Achilles heel of every team. 

My favorite part of the game had to be when we ran a trick play and it worked to perfection. That made me happy! Also, my son barreled his way for two big short yard first downs!

Man, this is what coaching is all about.

Flag Football is back!

2013 Super Senior Aftershock Team
Head Coach - Carlos Del Campo  Assistant Coaches Kurt Kessel & Dustin Brewer

So, after a nice break since NFL Flag, the regular Flag football season is back! Well, actually it started last week.  The reason I'm a week late on posting about it is because for the first time ever, I had to miss a game and not be on the sideline with my team.  Due to family commitments, we were out of the state and unable to be there... Very strange, but knowing that my team played great and that my assistant coach was able to lead them made it a great return.

This season I am taking a much more laid back approach.  I am allowing my assistant to call plays more often and I have stopped yelling during practice and even  during today's game, I didn't lose my cool when the refs let the opponents have 5 plays within the "Red Zone" to score.  Such is life.

My team made some really good plays and after the adjustments were made, the opposing team couldn't really get anything going on offense.  Unfortunately, we were down by one touchdown when this happened.

I have yet to beat the "gold team" aka- Lightning in my time as a coach but we have another chance this season and I am sure that my playbook will be filled with lots of new things for them by then.

I have a very talented team this season and I am looking forward to more amazing games!  We have a week off for Labor Day and then we're back at it. It's going to be a fun season!

Summer Time

Summer Time 

Football Season is almost here.  Actually, it's approaching rather quickly! I have taken on the responsibility of Flag Coordinator and that means that I get to help the Flag Director with EVERYTHING related to the Flag Football this season.  I am really excited about this opportunity and even though I know it's going to require some extra hours on Saturday's I am okay with that.


There is a Football camp this weekend and I get to help out with it on Saturday.  My sons are both attending even though I am sure that they would rather be home playing video games and I totally understand that.  Luckily for them, I didn't give them a choice.  They are going to go and start getting mentally ready for the season.  


It's been an interesting off-season so far.  I just found out that my Center isn't returning. I am still uncertain if one of my start offensive players will be returning and I don't have a Quarterback yet.  It's a coaches nightmare not knowing what they will have.  


The good news is that the league will be holding an Evaluation day where the league can scout out some of the players and make sure that certain teams aren't "stacked".  I am looking forward to that day.  


It's really interesting to be vested in this program knowing that there is a future for my children as long as they work hard and keep motivated.  Summer break is a difficult time to be doing all this, but it is what it is.  


Time to start getting ready for some football.
