I'd like to begin this Blog by saying that being a Tackle football mom is hard! Seeing your little boy out there trying to make his pads make that coveted "noise" when crashing into another little boy is a difficult thing to watch.
These kids work incredibly hard in really hot temperatures. The practices and scrimmages leading up to their first game saw a lot of tears, from the boys and the moms! What those practices and scrimmages also saw was a group of boys learning how to play together as a team, boys becoming stronger, all of them getting in shape and learning how to push through when all you want to do is just quit.
There aren't so many tears anymore. It seems that our team is really working together. Our Coaches are amazing and all of them volunteer their time to run this team. They are tough when they need to be, compassionate when needed and really good with the kids. We're lucky to be a Swenke Dolphin!
Below you will find pictures of practices and a scrimmage. I'm by no means a pro at this! I just like to take pictures. Hope you enjoy looking at the Freshman Swenke Dolphins getting ready for their season opener!
