Luke Finishes Flag Football

Luke finished up his flag football season. The team that he was on last year disbanded somewhat as most of the boys were too old to play. This meant that his coach quit coaching because his son wasn't playing anymore. Luke got a new team and a new coach. We realized the season would be interesting when, at the first practice, the coach asked the kids who wanted to play to win and who wanted to play to have fun. Luke and one other raised their hand in the affirmative of winning. Because most of the kids wanted to "just have fun," the coach took a relaxed attitude in coaching and let the kids play whatever positions they felt like. Luke did get an opportunity to play quarterback which was fun to watch. He also scored a few touchdowns through the season. Despite these highlights, his team lost nearly every game. I think he has decided to give tackle football a try next year.
