For the last three years Kaden has played flag football at the local Soccer Zone. Team Platinum Jr. is the name of the team. Each year he has improved and now they have a core team together.
It has been a lot of fun watching these kids grow and improve on their games. They have gone from struggling to pull flags and only running options to great defense and a passing game.
These kids are having a great time, but each are dedicated and learning the game. Pads can come later. I am a firm believer that you need to have a full grasp of the game before you put the pads and helmet on. If you can’t grab a flag do you really think you will be able to tackle a guy in full on gear? Small steps lead to big accomplishments.
Learning the game, improving upon skills, making memories, and friendship is what it’s about in youth sports. Or at least what it should be about. Go Team Platinum Jr.,, here is to another great season ahead!
