First scrimmage game

Tyson had his first scrimmage game last Saturday.  He sure sticks out with all that blonde hair :)
 He is not on the starting line and didn't see that much playing time.  He's also new and doesn't know as much as the other boys and gets passed over a lot.  As I said before never again with this stupid league!  These coaches don't believe in rotating players and letting everyone play and learn, they are all about winning, even in a scrimmage.  Here the coach is telling him what to do. (I really don't like this coach, he won't learn anyone's names and pulls the kids around by their jerseys instead of asking them to move.)     
 See the difference in the stance of Tyson and the kid next to him.  Tyson is already helping the other team by having all his weight in the back.


 Tyson got laid out in this scrimmage, he went flying through the air and landed on his back.  He got taken out because he couldn't stop crying.
 At the end of the game the coach talks to the team and tells the boys they need to stop crying.  "This is football!  Toughen up!"  I guess the ref will take kids out during the game if they are crying.
 Ryan was oblivious to her poor brothers sad day.  She had a ball with Taylor's umbrella :)

Sad first scrimmage, here's hoping it gets better!!

  1. This was torturous to read! Not only do I feel bad for Tyson, but I would have been fuming as a parent.
