For the last month or so, Christian has been hooping it up and learning the secrets of a good jump shot. He and his besties, Henry and Andy, are the only kindergartners on a team of mostly 2nd graders! However, they certainly haven't let that hold them back. And, while their teammates definitely have had more time to hone in on their ball-handling skills, all three boys have had a ton of fun and have each really improved in a short amount of time.
Before each little game, they have a 20-30 minute practice. (Perfect for us since that means we don't have to drive anywhere extra during the week for a separate practice!)
The team has 10 children and they all take turns getting subbed in and out every 5 min or so. Christian's coach is a very nice woman who not only knows the game, but is very good at getting through to each child. She also makes sure everyone gets equal playing time in the different positions.
Here are some fun shots of the boys...they sure do make me laugh!
