This past Tuesday night Cooper's undefeated flag football team played in the championship. And let's just be honest...I know it is just kid, church league football, but I was still a little nervous. The season had been so fun, and I just wanted them to finish it out with a win. On the way, Cooper said..."I'm a little nervous". Matt the "calm" one said, "Cooper, it's just a game...go play it like you play any other game." And he did just that...we couldn't be more proud of how he played and how "big" he played this season.
All smiles as he was warming up...they boy is just in his "happy" place when he is on any field...
He played up only because we signed him up late...but...it was such a good learning experience for him, and he improved so much. Matt was really impressed with how much his catching improved...
The coach found the perfect position for him...rusher on defense. He "job" was to attack the quarterback. He may not have pulled his flag before he threw every time, but he was for sure in his face and distracted him/made him throw it quicker than he wanted.
And no, I do NOT dress him...he does all this craziness on his own. It's just who he is. His newest thing...the tights.
In sports, you just never know what kind of coach you are going to get. This is one of those seasons where we loved the coach and would be happy to play with him every season. Couldn't have asked for better...
Thought I would miss soccer but honestly, I loved flag football just as much. It helps that 99.9% of the time, Cooper gives it his all and makes it fun to watch him play.
Love his sweet face...the smile of a champion!!!
These boys played hard all season and walked away the 3rd/4th grade undefeated champions!!!
Getting his championship ring...yes, I said ring!!!
If you cannot tell, he is one proud little dude!!!
Such a fun flag football season with a great group of little boys!!!
