This fall, Luke played flag football for the first time, and loved it! He was on the Packers (and has since become a huge Packers fan), and his coach, Coach Mike Borda, was great! The practices consisted of lots of "keep away" type games, where kids would run with the football while the guy in the middle would try to rip flags.
Flag football is helping me to appreciate football even more, too. What was different about flag football from other sports? Everyone on the field has a different job- it's not like soccer where they're all chasing after the ball at this level. And it's not like baseball where you do a ton of waiting. Football is fast paced and interactive. Luke loved blocking and playing defense. He took this role very seriously. On offense, he got to be the center, which he also enjoyed.
As the Altenbergs always say, we can't wait for football season to come again!!
