The first game of his career!

Get your autographs now. Cavin's football career has started!
Cavin played his first football game last Sunday for the i9Sports Hurricanes. He was in Heaven. He met some great new friends, thought his coach was great, and had a fantastic time playing. They had an hour of practice, and then an hour game against the Gators.
Cavin's coach is 'Coach Ed'. He started off the practice by saying 'who can tell me the difference between offense and defense?' Obviously, he was met with a lot of blank stares from the 4-6 year-olds. So he decided to take a different approach and just start with positions. For the first day, they worked on Center, Quarterback, & Running back. And all of the kids got a turn to try out each position. Cavin's favorite was bring the running back. Nothing better than being handed the ball and running as fast as you can.
Here they are stretching before practice. Cavin is #1, in the Redskins hat.

The camera was zoomed in...Caden was actually about 100 yards away in the only area of shade he could find. Of course at the end of the day he was asking if he could play football too. Sorry buddy, baseball and soccer is enough for one spring season!Are you ready?Here you go!Just out there playing...Doesn't he look tough?Jacie and Caden just hanging out, watching the game, and enjoying the sunshine!Cavin running back on the field after a water breakReady for another playArguing with the Ref already.

Too cute! Looks like he really did enjoy it. Will it be a hour of each every week? That is a lot of time to occupy two other kids! I hope he continues to enjoy it- and I am sure Chris does, too!
