We arrived early today...the boys got in line to catch passes.Alex caught 3 out of 5 passes. pretty good.
they then stretched and did push ups and the dreaded leg lifts. split into groups, started tackling , hitting. etc. water break...
They ran plays for nearly 1/2 the practice getting ready for their first inter squad scrimmage on Weds. Alex played mostly 2nd string defensive tackle...he got blocked and double teamed a lot..most of the time he was being knocked down and on his back however he did almost make one tackle....Prior to practice ending the boys had to run....they ran and ran and ran and ran...some were dropping, crying , moaning, quitting ..Alex quit one time but started back up because I was watching closely.....The running was hard but really good for them..
Alex was so tired he did not even take off his helmet ..i told him I was really prod of him running and not quitting...but he also needed to work on his tackling and being blocked skills.
We then hit UDF for ice cream...
Tomorrow..1st scrimmage...it will be interesting..I feel they are closer to being ready than not!
