We were so proud of the little dude as he got the Coaches Award this year. His coach said he was always willing to get stuck in and have a go, even if it sometimes ends with him being trampled a little by bigger kids. He never complains about what position he’s given and he’s always the first to volunteer to make up numbers for the other team if they are short.
We’d been in two minds about continuing on with AFL next season, but I think we’ll give it another year and see how it goes. He will stay in under 8s, and will have an opportunity to keep learning and playing in a safe environment, and he really is learning so much more than just football.
It will have to be a family decision for the next level up though – tackling and more contact starts then. I’m not too sure about it, but I do know the club looks after the kids pretty well. I have a year to decide lol
Still pretty proud of him though, and glad we made the decision to sign him up.
