Last week Catherine was able to play in her first basketball game of the season. She has a fabulous coach, and we could not be more thrilled with the experience she is having. She did fine, although it was evident that she was playing in her first game of the season.
Yesterday Thomas had his first game. There are nine kids on the team so each child only gets to play about half the game. There is a child on his team that is a phenomenal player and scored 25 of the teams 40 points. I didn't even think it was possible for kids to score that many points at this age. This kid is so impressive...and then there is Thomas. He was out there playing his position and trying to stay on top of his defense stance, and when the ball was passed to him...he ducked. A chuckle could be heard throughout the room. My, oh my.
Catherine then followed with her second game, and she played well....she even managed to score yesterday. The thing that amused me the most was the way each child attempted to coach the other after the game. It's nice to see them being supportive, but it is also a little comical in the way they handle it! While basketball is not my favorite sport generally speaking, it is definitely my favorite one to watch my kids play!
