From Jason's flag football game. All six and seven year old kids. He took a handoff and saw the other team coming to get him so ran backwards about 30 yards or so before turning around and running for a TD that actually was only about five yards. ;D I help to "coach" the team - really more of a job of getting them to pay attention. The smile on his face was worth it. Wish we had remembered the camcorder. I love coaching my kids teams - (my oldest is in HS now and I'm not able to coach his team anymore). But dang - giving up Saturday mornings for all of September and October...... There are fish to be caught - doves to be shot - plans to be made for all the other fall activities. (And weeds to be pulled).

You'll always have time to do the other things after they grow up. I coached from the time my son was 6 until he was 13, three sports a year, wish i could do it again. Cherish every moment! ;D

Yeah, I do enjoy it - or I wouldn't do it. Of course, I don't think I could be a parent who just hangs around for a whole practice, game, whatever without getting involved. I'd be that parent complaining about the coach.

Scansy, I always found that the women were far more vocal, and criticalof the coaches than the women!
