2015 Flag Football Season

The 2015 flag football season is here.  Kurt and Luke are both participating and have friends on their team.  The only downside is their practices are overlapping and we don't get the opportunity to see both of them practice.  Emily is normally with Luke and Rick with Kurt.  Emily video taped some of Luke's practice so we could get the pre-season scouting report.  

It looks Luke is pretty fast when he gets those "crazy legs" going.  On defense, we will work on flagging and squaring up in front of the runner to slow him down.

Luke has 8 games with the first one this weekend on 8/23/2015 at 1:30pm at .  Kurt has 6 games and starts next week.  Luke's team has 12 players while Kurt's has 9.   The rules are 

- 6 on 6
- fumbles are dead ball
- 4 downs to cross mid-field and earn another 4 downs
- must have center qb exchange, but otherwise, no limitation on alignment

Luke's coach has implemented an interesting strategy for offense where each player wear's a colored band.  Then, when he has a colored drawing of plays indicating what each color is supposed to do.  First indication in practice is the kids are confident about what they are supposed to be doing.

Here is the video, and, for reference he is #30.



Luke's first game is 
Date: Sunday August 23rd
Time: 1:30pm
Location: 2680 E Orange Rd Lewis Center OH, 43035

  1. Luke you did a great job. You don't have crazy legs. You have a great running stride. I think you have a great future ahead of you.
