Danny started playing flag football this year. The season is almost over but the good news is Danny seems to be having fun. His team, the Titans, have played very well together. Watching 5 year olds (and Danny the only 4 year old) play football you would think it would resemble a rugby scrum more than anything else. I happy and surprised to report that the boys do snap the ball, the quarterback hands off to a running back and a real football play ensues. Granted, there is no blocking and there is the occasional, "Hey, run the OTHER WAY!" moment, but then again, it wouldn't be pre-K football.
Over the course of the six week season, Danny's team has learned a couple fundamentals and they managed to complete two pass plays. Very impressive! Danny has a little more work to do. He'll have a year head start for next season - I'm already starting to dream about a NFL draft day scenario...
