Flag Football

04.04.2009 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

Most people will probably be surprised to hear that Wendemagegn decided to go out for Flag Football instead of soccer. I’m not sure what we were thinking – could he have picked a more complicated sport to learn? Line of scrimmage, down and out, down and in, 1st down….whole new set of vocabulary words.

But he is having a great time and we love that he is playing on Pastor Greg’s team…even if they have to be called the Raiders 🙂 They had their first game today and even though they lost the boys did a really great job. Wendemagegn is pretty fast so they’ve got a play where they hand off the ball to him. He loves to dodge and run around the defense…some of that fancy soccer foot work showing up. We just got to get him to run straight!
