Friday Night Lights!

Cooper signed up with a new football league and we are excited for the season to be here! He really wanted to play football again, but we weren't thrilled with the idea of him going back into tackle yet. We found this great new flag league with kids from Kindergarten through 8th grade and couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, he missed the skills camp last week since we were coming home from Yosemite, but he was able to make it to the assessments today.

While waiting to begin, a few of the kids went out on the field to toss the ball around to warm up.
He was so happy to be playing football again!

The boys all lined up in their division, and waited for their turn. They had 4 drills they were evaluated on, and the coaches wrote down their scores and notes on their cards. He even got to have his friend Adam in his group. Hopefully they will make the same team!

They started with a timed run of the 40 yard dash...

They moved on to a shuttle drill where they were timed while running back and forth to cones.

He was looking forward to the catching drill, and was excited to catch 4 out of 4 passes...

The last drill was the quarterback drill with passing. Again, he made 4 out of 4 passes and had a huge smile on his face.


So he finished with a great assessment and was thrilled to be playing again (even for 3 hours in the heat, in the middle of the day!). He can't wait to get started with practice! We cooled off with some frozen yogurt afterward before heading home.
