In case you didn't know, football (American Football) is not very popular here in Japan... In fact, I'd say it's not popular at all... Most of my students don't know what it is, or if they do, they think it's boring or they don't understand it...
So I was delighted today to have the chance to play some catch with a couple other NOVA teachers... There were supposed to be 6 or so, but only 3 of us showed up, so we played catch for a bit (which is a treat in itself, finding a football to buy or play catch in Japan with is like finding gold in the Boone River...) and then took turns QBin' and doing some one-on-one pass patterns...
Three things I learned...
1. Losing weight doesn't equate with being in shape...
2. Many parks in Japan are all gravel and dust...
3. Gripping, catching, and throwing a football that is covered in dust is difficult...
It was fun, but I look forward to trying to organize some more people playing so we can have an actual game... And maybe trying to find a place that is grass...
