"Who says we aren't old enough to play Football?"

During the Braves game, there was a different sort of game going on in the background. Many fans waiting for their games to start, converged on the sideline not to watch the Braves, but to watch the 3 young boys play a football game. Fans could not believe the full contact that was going on. Some gentlemen tried to step in and asked them to "just touch each other" one man said, "I can't believe they aren't bleeding. They are crazy." I asked a gentleman that had been watching from the beginning of the game what his thoughts were he said, "Those boys have a natural ability to know the game. That is every coaches dream, and there are 3 of them. I would love to coach that team." When we inquired about the team they played on all three boys looked at us as laughed, "We are not old enough to play yet. We are 7." There was an audible intake of breath from the onlookers and some non believers until one of the mothers confirmed they were indeed only 7 years old.





Apparently, these young boys get together while their older brothers are at practice and they play contact football along side them, everyday, for the full 2 hours. We look forward to watching these boys "officially" play next year and hope to get great footage from their games.
