This past week Tanner started his first year of Football. It makes me proud to see him running around the field like I used to do so many years ago.
They take the game seriously up here, even at this age group. He’ll have 5 day a week practice (2 hours per day) for nearly all of August in preparation for their first game. After that it will be 3 days a week. He has a lot to learn about the game overall, but he’s having fun. Still not sure which position(s) he’ll play yet.
So far I think I’ve had more fun watching him than he’s had doing all the exercise. In a way I find myself a little jealous of him. My high school football days are some of my fondest memories.
