Hi! My name is Piper and I am going to tell you about my flag football practices and games. Each Saturday I have a games. Each Monday night I have practices that start at 6:00 and ends at 8:00. Practice
In practice I practice pulling flags, running the ball, back peddles, side steps, and catching. We scrimmage with the Steelers. We don’t actually play a game with them, we just practice with them. They are much bigger than us, but that is what makes us better.
Games
We practice before our games to get warmed up so we are ready for the game. We practice catching and we practice plays. After we practice plays, the coach calls certain people to be in offence, defense, and kickoff return, and also kickoff. When we win we are very happy. If we lose we are good sports and we say good job to the winning team. At the end game we line up in lines next to each other and we walk and high five each other.
Offense, Defense, Kickoff, Kickoff Return
Offense is where one team tries to get a touchdown and you try different plays. There are a couple of places. There is center [the person who hikes the ball]. We also have to guards next to the center which are technically the people you are giving the QB a few extra seconds by doing a cross across the rusher [rushers are the people you run to the QB and try to pull his flags to make the play over. They are on defense]. Defense is where you try to make the other team not get the touchdown so you are technically pulling flags. Kickoff is when there is a kicker and three people line up on each side of him. When the kicker kicks the ball the people beside him run down the field and try to pull flags because when the kicker kicks the ball someone on the opposing team tries to get the ball and get a touchdown. If they do get a touchdown then the opposing team goes on to offense and try to get extra points or another touchdown Next is Kickoff return. Do you know how in kickoff the kicker kicks it and the opposing team tries to get the ball? That’s what they are trying to do. Catch the ball and get a touchdown.
SUPER BOWL!!!
You can only go to the Super Bowl if you win most of your games. To move up a spot in the places you have to defeat a team in a higher place than you. By places I mean like first place and second place and third. You know what I mean. The Ravens {that was my team} made their way up to first place and won the Super Bowl against the Patriots. There was a teammate on the Patriots who goes to our school and he keeps giving me and my brother angry looks. But he was just playing. The Super Bowl was fun. That is what flag football is like!
THE END!!
