MFL Heavyweights

     About a month ago, my friend Kurtis asked me if I wanted to help coach a 5th and 6th grade football team in Pella. We landed a group of 14 hilarious 5th and 6th grade heavyweight boys that we are supposed to teach to play football as a team, very interesting. MFL stands for Marshalltown Football League and we play our games in Marshalltown. Our first game was this Saturday morning against the West Marshall Bears. We are the Pella Redskins. We won 25-18! The boys were really excited and I had a great time coaching and watching them play today. I didn't think I would be doing coaching like this until it was my own kid, but I'm glad I got to do it, the season should be fun. Here are some pictures from the game today.

 Halftime motivation from Kurtis.

 National Anthem, a good shot of the young dudes

 Timeout. Explaining that blocking is kind of important.

Letting Luke know he's kicking ass
