Snow Tigers Football

The 2nd and 3rd grade football coaches decided to let these kids try tackle football this year. We were was super hesitant but both Jeremiah and Lexi wanted to play. Who are we to tell them they can't play a sport.

Lexi looking fabulous in all her gear.

Miles put on Lexi's pads to see what it was like.

Go Lexi!

Their 1st Oklahoma drill. For those that didn't play football, apparently this is a favorite of every child because everyone gets a chance to tackle. You lay down head to head, one man (or woman) gets the ball, coach blows the whistle and you both get up, man with the ball tries to make it through while woman tries to tackle man with ball. The coaches lined Jeremiah and Lexi up with each other thinking it should be her brother to tackle her first.

Jeremiah tries to make his way through.

But Lexi gives him a run for his money.

And she hangs on tight!

She didn't let go when the whistle blew, it took a little shoulder tap reminder for her to let go of her big brother!

Now it's Jeremiah's turn to make the block.

Jeremiah, coming in for the block.
