They started practicing at the beginning of August. They had practice 4 nights a week for 2 hours a night. It was busy. Dave and I tried to prepare Easton for the fact that these practices wouldn't be all "fun", but also a lot of work and it would be tiring. But, it never seemed to affect him. After one of the first practices, I asked him if he had fun. He said, "Yes!" I asked him what they did. He said that they mostly ran. It really didn't matter what they did, he had a blast!!
They had a really young team. Most of the team was made up of 4th graders (in a 4th-5th grade league). So, they had a lot to learn. But, they really improved over the season. They won 2 games, lost 4. Easton's main position was corner and some time as linebacker. He played almost every defensive play. He was on the special teams. And, he played as a receiver at times for the offense, as he would bring the plays in to the quarterback from the coach every few plays.
He is really fast and aggressive which made up for the fact that he is one of the smallest kids on his team. We were always so proud of him at the games. He did great.
Here are a few pictures from his last game, (he is #17):
Dave was excited that he got this tackle on camera:

After he finished his last game he was pretty sad that is over. I reminded him that 10 more months and he will start again. So, the countdown begins! :)
