'Tis the (Basketball) Season

Right on the heels of soccer season is basketball season.  This year, Garrett wanted to give basketball a try.  We thought it would be a great sport to keep him active and help him with balance and coordination, and he already has height on his side.  What I didn't realize is that he's also very competitive and driven...so it's a good thing that he's on an awesome team (the first game was something like 38-0, but they don't technically keep score).  And, yes, Garrett was able to score two of those points with this basket (in the first couple seconds of the clip, he's #10).



So far, he's loving basketball (but it's always more fun when you win, isn't it?).  The beauty of the sport is how fast it moves, and with only 6 players, everyone gets hands on the ball.  And I'm loving that his coach is holding Garrett to the standard of the team (by that I mean that EVERYone runs lines).  And the schedule is manageable for me with only one practice and one game a week.  We'll see what the rest of the season brings, but so far so good!

Merry Basketball!
