Flag Football

I’m on two flag football teams. One of them I signed up for because I just wanted to play. You sign up by yourself and they place you on a team. The other team I’m on because a friend’s coworker needed someone on their team. Its hard to know what to expect from joining random teams. I did know that the blue team I’m on won the championship last season. So obviously they would be good. Now I don’t think I’m the best flag football person in the world, but I do know that I can catch, throw, and play defense and that I am a little more athletic than some of the girls that usually show up for these things. The game with the blue team was good. They realized that I could play and threw the ball to me. Now let’s talk about this other orange team. If the orange team ever played the blue team, the blue team would definitely win. This orange team is made up of a bunch of random people. I feel like some of the guys on the orange team are only playing coed because they think they have good guys and that can help them win. But the key to having a really good coed team is having really good girls and utilizing them. However, the QB we had first of all wasn’t a very good QB and second of all didn’t utilize the girls that were good. Nobody knew what they were doing. No plays were called and they just told everyone to get open. They didn’t pass me the ball even though I can catch it and even though I burned my girl every single time. I was open on a bunch of long routes but the guy never threw it because I bet he thought I wouldn’t be able to catch it. Pretty much it was lame. Maybe its because we never played together before and it’ll get better, which I definitely hope it does because there is definitely a very big difference playing with people that are good and people that are just okay. If a bunch of my football friends hadn’t all moved away, I think we would be able to do pretty well in these leagues. I just want to play some good football.
