Hello, my name is Layah. I'm in 5th class Ms. Reids and this is my NFL experience.
Ms. Haughton told us that the school was involved in a new NFL Flag pilot project and that there were going to be some trials for the first NFL Flag team in the school.
Lots of girls from 5th and 6th classes joined and we practiced all the new skills for two weeks before the final team was chosen. When I was told that I had made the final team, I was very surprised because I was the only person from 5th that got chosen out of all the boys and girls.
After that, we started training every single day until the 6th of December when the Championship took place in Sports Ireland Campus. The day before this, a film crew actually came to our school to film us training and interview us about the experience. We were all so nervous but we did it - check out the video on youtube here ! On the day of the Championship, we were all so excited but nervous. We played so well and topped our group in the first round! Unfortunately we got knocked out in the semi-finals, however we had such a great time and I was so proud of myself and made great new friends with my teammates.
