We waited till the last minute to make the decision if Batman could play football or not. We decided to let him go ahead and try it. We are second grade so it is tackle!
The first week was just conditioning in the heat. And getting used to the weight of the helmets.
Second week started full pads! Boy was it an adjustment. But we worked through it. I know I should say tough, but he looks so cute in his pants and compression tops.
Coaches have been great with him and teaching him. He has never played before but they are working with him and he is learning the game.
Yeah so cute running the ball.
And again.
And they took it easy on him (at least from where I was sitting) the first night they started hitting. You can tell they didn't hit him to hard. Some of the big boys were getting hit so hard the coach was knocking them down.
He is in the black. Still shying away from the tackling but he is getting better!
Should be a fun season as long as no big boys try to take him out! This momma may not like that.
