Craziest Ending to a 5th Grade Football Game You’ll Ever See

All, Video, Youth Sports Jason McIntyre October 22nd. 2012, 2:02pm

With the clock winding down, the QB lofts a pass toward the end zone. The attempt falls far short, and is intercepted. The defensive back makes the catch, the horn sounds, and then the 5th grader spikes the ball as his team celebrates. They flood the field!

One thing – no whistle from the referee. So the offensive team picks up the ball, runs in 20 yards for the score … and wow, what a victory. Love the woman who can be heard near the end of the video shouting, “ARE YOU SERIOUS?” [video via Brooks Hansen]

Totally legit. This ain’t baseball kid, you can’t just catch it for the out. Gotta get down before the play is dead.

After seeing this, how many of you ex-grade school athletes had a recollection of your old coach yelling at the team to “Play the whistle”??

Rule #1: PLAY TILL THE WHISTLE!
/Is someone saying “oh he’s going to be pissed” right after the “Are you serious?!” woman speaks?

On the kick-off, wouldn’t have been easier and taken less time for the returner to kneel instead of burning valuable time running straight out of bounds?

We have to yell at the six year olds to do this. Earlier in the season they’d just stop running the ball when someone tried to pull their flag thinking it was pulled. Run Till The Whistle Blows, Junior!!!

He was obviously told to do it by the coach which means Andy Fucking Reid must be coaching 5th graders.

In situations such as this I don’t see why it’s not called an attempted forward lateral with a flag being thrown and the play called dead?

Love the enraged coach in the white shirt that slams his hat down once he realizes what is happening. It’s pee-wee football man.
Parent/coaches are the worst.

I think it is illegal advancement, not an illegal forward pass. Ball remains live. If the team that “threw” the ball recovers, penalty is assessed from the spot of the “throw”.

Can we assume one parent has already started a boycott until the kid is kicked off the team for that?

The jogging trail my wife and I use goes by a local HS field that hosts these games on the weekend. The parents yelling and talking shit and being horrible people is just amazing.
I told the kid he’s not playing organized sports until middle school at the earliest.

I think sports are great for kids to get involved in… but the number of asshole parents/coaches involved has me seriously questioning whether I’d subject any of my future children to that. It’s my belief that up until high school it should be simply used as a teaching tool. I’m certainly not one of these “ribbons for everyone” people – there should be winners and losers… but the amount of vitriol and anger you see from losing coaches/parents is absurd.
Way too much testosterone coming from the coaches who failed to do anything after high school involved.

I love the “we need sports to teach kids about winning and losing” mentality. As if that isn’t instilled the minute a kid realizes what his family’s economic standing is.

When the kid catches his mom banging the pharmaceutical salesman on the side he’ll realize pretty quickly that he doesn’t want to end up like his father.

So do I, in the “lets go outside and shoot the basketball for an hour,” not “lets drive somewhere, sit and wait, then practice drills and stupid crap and then drive somewhere else and play games with officials.”
Sports dont need to be so organized, go outside and throw a ball against a wall.

Only if there is a playoff involved.
And only if Mike Pereira will analyze the referees performance in real time, cause thats just fucking awesomely entertaining.

The clock doesn’t stop after a kickoff at that level unless you go out of bounds….pretty sure that’s why the kid jetted out of bounds on the kickoff

I coach my kids U6 soccer team in a rec league that doesn’t keep score. You know who keeps the score, the kids. They constantly update me on the score of the game and who’s winning and who has the most goals despite my best efforts to tell them we’re just playing for fun. There’s nothing wrong with kids being competitive and playing to win. Its the overzealous parents who ruin it.

Illegal Forward Pass. If A (offense) accepts period is extended for one play and B (defense) can take a knee. If A declines, the illegal forward pass is incomplete and the game is over.

The play should be called dead and flagged………a red player at the :23 mark removes his helmet in disgust and this is an automatic penalty. Hope all the kids make it through this game and its ending without too many problems with parents, bullies etc.
