Yes! Flag Football season has began!! And I am quite happy. Football is my sport. Well, it is the sport I understand and am interested in. However Flag Football - I am so confused!!
Here is what I understood before the game and what C.J. and his team practiced.
No Tackle/Contact. If you have physical contact you will get a penalty.
You can run the ball, which is what they practiced-they did not practice passing
Here is what we find out when we get there.
The line can push and shove - no penalty
You cannot run the ball - only pass!
So needless to say, the Rams did not have a good first game. They were pushed and shoved but were afraid to push and shove back for fear of a penalty and coach was telling them to pass, but they did not know to who or how. But they had a great practice after both games which looked much more promising! They have a great coaching team so I am optimistic. I do not like to lose! (who me?) C.J. is the wide receiver and did get the opportunity to catch and run the ball for about 10 feet before being surrounded by the other team. I was thankful they cannot tackle the player with the ball - just grab the flag. I was so proud. This was the best play of the game and it was by my son! Since they do not play on both Saturdays of Spring Break they have a while to lick their wounds (both physically and mentally) before playing again.
Oh and another thing about Flag Football - games are only 30 minutes. They play two games each Saturday. So if you have ADHD - this is the game for you. You really do not have time to have your mind wonder off! It's pretty intense.
Here is a pic of his team. He is in the middle of the back row.
