7 years ago when Kay was 8 she asked to play tackle football. As a girl dad I was a bit taken back and at first I was against it. She fought hard and pushed back and eventually I caved in and let her tryout. Wow was I surprised at such a young age what heart and dedication this child would have in this sport. Not only only was she able to compete, but it also paved the ground work to transition to competitive flag football. We now travel nationwide for tournaments. Always have faith in your kids
