Brooklyn just wrapped up a very fun basketball season! She was on a 2nd-3rd grade team, and her team did quite well. A few times, Brooklyn had over 10 points! She got the hang of it quickly, and was really good about dribbling around the defense and going to the hoop to shoot. After the first game, we did have to have the "you need to watch for your teammates to be open to pass to them" and explain to her what a "ball hog" was. :) They don't call alot at this age, so it was hilarious watching the girls double (and triple) dribble, then watch the cluster of kids at the bottom of the basket with their arms stretched high waiting for the ball to drop down to them. According to Derek, this is how girls' basketball always is, but *I* disagree. Derek even got in on the coaching action when our coach couldn't be there. It was really fun to watch him coach the girls, he did a GREAT job! Her team even played at halftime of a WSU women's game, which was quite a treat for Brooklyn. We are already looking forward to the next time basketball is offered and there have even been whisperings of an AAU team around our home.....
