Fall Upwards 2016 Cheer and Flag Football

What a wonderful season of Upwards Cheer and Flag Football.

Noelle cheered on the Sparkle Squad composed of K-1 grade girls. They practiced once per week and then cheered every Sunday for the 1:00 pm game. Besides learning 4-5 cheers they also had a small dance routine that they performed during half-time.  She loved this.  The routine, the cheers, her coaches and going to practice, it was all in her wheel house.  And that they got to perform their dance on the "stage" at the end of the year ceremony which was the cherry on top of a great season. Noelle loves to perform.  The head coach is amazing and had both cheer squads over to her house at the end of the season for a pizza and dance party.  Not only did Noelle get a prize at the party, this coach has about every Shopkin produced so each girl got to pick out a couple to take home that she had duplicates of. So pretty much the best day ever!  Also I think "Just Dance" will have to go on our Christmas list. 

 Dallas had a great season as well.  Robert and Travis teamed up again to lead the "Broncos".  They have coached together since the boys were in kindergarten.  This team had second and third graders. I think they all had a great time.  Dallas really improved his throwing throughout the season, his favorite is to be quarterback. He also really wanted football gloves so Rob made him a deal and he actually spend his own money to buy half. We are pretty sad the season is over. The weather was gorgeous all Fall, I think I wore shorts to all the games but two! We did have one canceled Sunday when Ames had the flash flooding, I don't think any sports were held that weekend.
