Jamboree Day

It's Jamboree Day at Myers House. The start of the Mustangs football season. The team played a series of mini-preseason games to try out new plays. John took the opportunity to coach the kids in things they could do to improve their game.

Jackson during warm ups. Cause I'm not going anywhere near that line of scrimmage during a game. Those boys are big. They hit hard.

John is determined to make this a positive experience for every boy. We have a couple boys who have never played before and he makes a special effort to help them keep up.

Same age. Same team. But what a difference in size. Wowzie. Somehow Jack always ends up standing next to the tiniest boys on the team. Jack was double teamed for a good part of the day. That frees up the smaller but quick and tough center to break through the line and nail the quarter back.
