It’s first down. There’s thirty seconds left on the clock. No receivers are open. Time is running out. He drops back. Pass is deep towards the end zone. Intercepted!
That was the end of my first game as quarterback for the Science Adventure School Sixth Grade Invisible Football League. It was a rough one and a throw that I definitely wish I could have taken back, but dinner time was over, and it was time for shower hour to start; the game had to come to an end. In this one moment I learned so much. First and foremost, don’t throw deep passes in invisible football.
