IRL Football
 

I know the fringes of football forum has been closed, but I figured offseason could be a good time to bond over our common passion in a slightly unusual way: how about sharing some of what football is in our real lives ?

Obviously "traditional" fan pics are welcomed, if you have a nice memory to share with it (meeting a player, coach, attending to a memorable game etc...).

But since I don't think adult amateur football is a huge thing in the US, I'd also be interested in knowing if any of you are involved in any way shape or form in a local football team ?

Like do we have a High School team's secretary-treasurer on this board ? A Middle School coach ? A ref at any level ?

Or do you guys regularly go support your local high school team ? I'm sure that would also create some nice pics and stories to share !

I watched the movie [I]The Express[/I] yesterday night and [I]Remember the Titans[/I] tonight, got me wanting to know more about every day Football in the US, what it is [I][U]in your real lives[/U][/I].

In exchange, I'll share some pics of one of my first game as a ref in France, last month (I "graduated" as a white capped ref after 4 years of officiating), this was a U19 game:
