Paige's Flag Football - Lions


With some reservations, we decided to put Paige in flag football again through Girl Power. Her last few seasons have been disappointing and we took a break for a while from it. Paige's school is having a flag football team for the first time ever, and we thought it would be a good opportunity for her to get some more experience and to also get acquainted with the different format and rules for high school level ball.

The previous seasons of football were 5 on 5, and the new format is a larger field and it's 7 on 7. The rules are a little different too, with multiple opportunities to get first downs, and the pass rush allows for blocking and quarterback rushes. 

Paige has had two games, with her second one last night. So far we've been pretty disappointed that her play time has been very limited and she's only had one opportunity to even catch a ball. Unfortunately, she dropped the pass, which was difficult but catchable. We know it's got to be hard to wait around for two entire games and then only have one chance to make a play. We're disappointed for her, not in her. Her team's only scored one touchdown so far this season and it was on defense. They're definitely making adjustments and hopefully things start to come together for the as the season goes on.
