Challenge 16... football at the academy



Somewhere in there is my second football player. OK, third if you count their dad. I'm reeling a bit here. Zane started football as soon as Parks & Rec football was available, which was when he turned seven. With Zack, we went a different route. We had him in i9 football until he could play at school. This year will mark his first year of tackle. 

I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for this, but he is. Ready is an understatement for this kid. He loves football with a passion that frightens me. And he wants to be a long snapper, like his big brother. 

He's not quite as flexible as Zane, but he's working on in, which has been just the incentive he needed to do the stretches he was supposed to be doing for his Osgood-Schlatters anyway. Jimmy thinks Zack will be a great receiver, and Zack's working on that too. 

We'll add Thursday and Saturday afternoons to the football schedule this year. Go Knights! Go Camels!

Looks like the passion for sports runs in the boys' genes. How lucky of you to have three athletes at home. I'm sure they're throwing a lot of sportly advice to each other, which is really great. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing that, Norma! All the best to your family! :)
