Saturday morning, my football team, and the other flag football teams in the area that made it to the play-offs in Arizona, had a really great experience. To show how excited and proud they were of us for making it to the play-offs, the Redskins invited the teams to Redskins' Park for a tour.
When we got there, they gathered all the teams and brought us to an auditorium. They showed us a video of highlights and such from our games at the tournament. Then, one-by-one, they called the teams up, gave us little awards, and took our pictures. After that, we got to start the tour.
First, they showed us the main floor, which had many trophies, awards, and artifacts that the redskins have gotten. We also got to see the studio that they record the Redskins show in. A couple of the girls on my team and Bart represented our team in an interview for the Redskins show. After they finished their interview, we moved to the bottom floor where they showed us the gym, the GIGANTIC kitchen, and where the players' room was, even though we weren't allowed in there.
From there, they brought us to the outdoor field (inside one of those "bubbles") that the Redskins train in when it gets very cold. When we got there, a couple people that work with the Redskins made small speeches, and then they took a picture of all of the teams. Our team, alone, took some pictures there too, because we were the Redskins as well. After the official tour was over, my team stayed on the field for a bit just to hang out. Then, my mom and I headed back home.
It was really nice of the Redskins to invite all of the teams to the park. I'm really happy that I was able to have this experience and every experience from football that led up to it. I know that the girls on my team and I had a really great time, and I'm sure that the other teams did too.
Thanks for reading!
