Wordless (Almost) Wednesday ~ Tackle Football
This is Jayden’s first year of tackle football. He has been playing flag for 3 years and is finally old enough to don pads and start hitting! There’s a catch though. The league and division he will be playing in has a max weight limit of 105lbs……he weighs 52lbs, when wet! People have been asking me if I am worried about that. Truth is, I am not. He is bound to get hurt, but he loves the game and loves the contact, so I am all for it!
The day we picked up his pads he just had to get them on!
The teams first official scrimmage. He is #54. One little guy vs. two much bigger opponents!
What he lacks in size, he makes up for in heart!

Hi Heidi!
These are great photos and your son looks so proud as he is kneeling in his uniform and holding the football. Best wishes for a fun and safe season! 🙂

What a fun post! My nephew played in an ‘Under 100 Pounds’ league. His dad always said that, once he got his gear on, he looked like a tack! But, like your son, he loved it!!
