LeAnn joined a flag football team this fall along with her neighbors Nancy and Megan. None of them had played flag football before, but were willing to give it a try. A few practice sessions with their husbands out in the cul-de-sac gave them the confidence they needed for their first game, despite a couple sprained fingers and some bruises.
The games were played at Lake Nokomis, which has lighted fields, so games were played as late as 9:30. The highlight of the games was usually the pre- and/or post-game gatherings at the 5-8 club.
With a mix of both experienced and novice players, the team progressed through the year. Scoring became a little easier each week, and the defense tightened up.
The last game of the year was a special one game tournament for each team held at Parade Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. Parade Stadium is used for high school games during the school year and is fully lighted with and AstroTurf field. The team lost in the final game 32-25. Next year LeAnn is even thinking of letting the rest of the family come and watch (and take pictures).
I am hoping to get a team picture to add in here, so check back
