[make a jersey...make more fun]

Our family is a  little....how should I say??um....interesting? My grandparents gave land behind their house to their children and we all grew up on this one beautiful plot of land back in the woods in Mechanicsville, VA. So, ever since we were little kids we played together...we were all we had. A few times we played nice and sometimes-actually usually, there were tears.  One sport we have all grown to love is football....we...uhhhh, kinda like it a lot.

Not because we are pro but because we truly enjoy the time with each other....I believe so much in the power of football that I have a few tips for you to start your own family football team

TIP ONE: 

make jerseys...it makes for more fun...

I finally designed and had jerseys printed for the fam...our teams are the DUCKS vs. the BUCKS

TIP TWO:  

have 2 designated, appointed or elected ALL TIME captains.
Selection of teams becomes much easier. The two captains discuss and divide the group fairly...this way NO one gets picked last and feels like they are the worst player on the field....AT LEAST I appreciate it :)

TIP THREE:

football is a TEAM sport
Everyone plays on every play...no one just stands on the line and runs around the field without purpose. This is why it so important to have great captains -- they direct plays and get everyone involved!!

TIP FOUR: 

fans are a necessity
My mom pulled out some cheerleading moves for the 70's..VICTORY VICTORY is our CRY....V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!!!

TIP FIVE: 

go big or go home.
Why not play tackle football?

let me know how it goes & enjoy :)
