Micah's first football game

This past Saturday, Micah had his first football game! After several practices, his team, the Penguins, were excited and the parents were a little nervous. Curtis, who is one of the assistant coaches, predicted crying and maybe blood.

Thankfully, our son didn't cry, and there was no blood at all!

We're doing flag football with Upwards. The fact that it's a Christian organization is wonderful! Rather than promoting winning, being the best, and doing whatever it takes to win, the attitude is one of having fun, helping your team, and doing your best. And for 4 and 5 year olds, that's perfect!

Micah did really, really well for his first game. He made a touchdown!
Another thing that I like about Upwards is that they let every kid play every position, every game. It's a wonderful learning experience!
At the end of each practice, each child gets a green start for participating. At the end of each game, and Offensive Star and Defensive Star are handed out. Micah received the Offensive Star this week!
We are very proud of our little football player!
