Opening Day For Rutland Rec Gold

This was opening day for the Rutland Rec Gold team at Northeast Park in Rutland. The Seventh and Eighth grade modified football program has been alive in the Rutland region

since 2001. This is a great opportunity for the younger kids to try full contact football

and get a real look at the game before high school.
