<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, he loves the game and he's been

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 4>playing since he.

<v Speaker 5>these kids have played organized football, and this is the

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 5>first time playing school football. And it's it's a big

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 5>it's a big transition that if you've been playing little

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 5>league ball, a pop warner or whatever you want to

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 5>call it, it's a it's a big difference, in a

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 5>big transition to go from one to the other.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.839
