THE STARTERS continued to learn more about flag football, with an emphasis on taking a handoff the right way, and getting downfield with a quickness! They had hand-off running play races, and then continued to learn our 3 basic pass patterns - the CURL, the OUT, and the SLANT! They also worked on defending these routes. We finished with a kid-favorite, Team Touchdown, and it came down to the wire! Some kids that caught our eye today included Finn Mason (who made a series of moves during Team TD that had the crowd roaring!), Penelope Hogan (who chased down an opponent who seemed to have an easy score!), Michael Ryan (who seems to ALWAYS grab flags!), and Crew Smith, who held on tight to the football, and split the defense by running right down the middle for a score! We will have all kinds of drills, skills and practice over the next two weeks, and after week 4, we will split them into hopefully balanced teams! It was fun today for sure!-CJ
