Mighty Mite Football

I shot these in early December of a Mighty Mites youth football game. I had photographed the practice games before and I was astonished at how hard the parents push these little 7 and 8-year-olds. Some parents were even yelling things like, "Get him! Make him cry!" from the sidelines. The coaches are as tough as high school coaches.
Regardless, the kids seemed to be having a great time. They still sucked on their juice boxes at halftime and giggled when the water carriers squirted them in the face. It was a great time, and fun to shoot. The action isn't nearly as quick as in high school games, and harder in some ways since they have a standard size field with tiny players, but their expressions are priceless.
