PowderPuff Football

I've heard this term before and I know all too well what it is, but I never though I would be a participant. I am on a powderpuff football team and well I'm loving it, although I'm not sure my body is too thrilled about it. I have been going to practice for about a month now and I have found muscles I didn't know I had. I have never been so soar in my entire life. I have to say a month into it my muscles are actually doing lots better, but my knees not so much. Some days I can barely bend them. I have realized my mind is younger than my body these days. ha ha! I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's true, my joints and muscles aren't as young as I remember them. And it pains me to admit to this. I love sports and never thought I would have to consider limiting my activity in them. As of now, I am living with the aches and pains because I an having way too much fun. I love being part of a team and I am getting to know some great and amazing girls and guys. (We have almost the same amount of boys helping with the coaching as we have girls on the team, it's hilarious, but a blast) So as of now I will continue attending practice and add my athleticism to the team. I'm not that bad either :)

Velcro, that's my nickname because I catch the ball no matter what. That makes me part of the offensive team. I'm learning plays like 'double flares', 'west hollywood drag', 'right cross', and many more. I have even played a little Quarterback. I think they are thinking of training me as a back up, that is pretty fun too, although a little more responsibility than I want. You are all probably thinking why the sudden desire for football. Well I guess the Santa Monica 3d ward has a powderpuff team and they are undefeated and well we want to take them on. Truthfully I think we may just take them. We practice every friday and there are at least 2 practices a week if you can make it and we have some pretty talented girls. It's awesome. We are getting jerseys, soon and even have numbers. We are the angels and our colors are red and black or blue and black not sure I think that's still up in the air. As soon as we get some pics taken I will post them. So I breath football in my spare time which isn't much between my calling, work, friends, and a boy named Branson, but when I get to it's a blast.
