@T_Bene23 @TFConsortium @coachbdixon Mind providing a little background? Pizza for kids after practice?

Stole this idea from @coachbdixon at last years @TFConsortium. I was hoping to have 3-4 weeks of this but these people loved the idea and kept the pizza coming all season! Thanks coach Dixon for sharing great ideas to make practice the best part of kids day! ✌🏼🍕🏈

The Edina Hornets football team just won their first Minnesota state championship since 1978 with the Chicago Blackhawks’ first-round draft pick playing his senior year at QB, and the hockey team’s goalie scoring 6 TDs in the title game. Play sports. Have fun. Nothing like it.
