Hayden's 1st Flag Football game

Hayden has been playing soccer for a few years in our neigborhood sports club. This year they started flag football. He was real excited to play football. First thing I noticed was their is a lot more to know for football and extra time and effort that has to come from the coach. He has to talk about all the position, what they do and have plays ready for the game. Today Hayden was excited for his 1st game. He listen great to the coach and would do his plays but I could tell when it came down to the exact moment where Hayden was suppose to either run or grab a flag you could tell he had this confussed look on his face for a second. It was like he was thinking "what am I supppose to do???" and then he would do it. In soccer you just try to kick a ball and with football he had different rolls and he had to keep thinking. At half time when he was taking a break he told me "This is harder then it looks." But he did great, you couldn't tell at all he thought it was hard. And he even scored a touch down.

Before his game. His team is called the Jackhammers.
