YOUTH TEAM SPORTS

Football

On chilly Friday nights or crisp Saturday afternoons, autumn days in America find many sports enthusiasts enjoying the game of football between youthful teams of gridiron gladiators. Participants run, pass, catch, and kick the ball. On offense, some try to block for the ball carrier while those of the opposing team on defense try to elude the blocks and tackle the player with the ball. Cheerleaders and marching bands often add to the atmosphere of excitement. Costumed mascots urge their teams on. Parents, relatives, classmates, alumni and friends fill the stands to cheer and to admire the efforts put forth by all of the players. Indeed, football as a youth team sport plays a large recreational part of autumn in America.

My hand painted cachet shows a place-kicker attempting a field goal. The holder an instant before had placed the football on the ground at just the right angle for the foot of the kicker to send it toward the goal posts. Colorful uniforms and vibrant green grass bring this familiar scene to life. This is number three in the four cover Youth Team Sports set. Football - Collins #L3202. $12.25.
