Youth Football
(10/8 Meter)
.
.
I coach local age 9 youth football team.
We practice on three days a week
Then Saturday, of victory they dream,
And parent’s praises they all seek.
.
They often get distracted and confused,
Frequently forget the snap count,
The quarterback called on play number used.
Still, youthful joy is tantamount.
.
They dash about upon the field of play,
Uniforms shining in the sun,
All running around, each and every way,
Until their game is lost or won.
.
Yet through the chaos of it all,
They learn to play the game, football.

The poem says it all. I’ll add a picture of them later. We won today’s game 48 to 0. But lost the first game last week 28 to 14.
