My brother just called and asked me if I wanted to play flag football like we did when we were kids. I told him that I would love to but I knew that I did not have enough friends to make a team. When I told him that, he explained that he wanted me to be on his Scottsdale adult flag football team. Our first practice would be the following week and our first game would be that Saturday.

I told him that I was probably a little bit out of shape and he said not to worry about it, most of the other teams on the Scottsdale flag football league were just in it to meet new people and have some fun. He told me that the team we were playing was made up of middle aged men and women just like our team was. I laughed when I thought I heard him say women. I knew that there was no way that I would have to play any football against girls.

On the night of our first practice for the Scottsdale flag football league team, I found out that there were in fact women on our team and they were making us men look pretty bad. I just hoped that they did this well during the first Scottsdale flag football league game this week.
