it’s basketball season

a couple weeks ago, ellie started her biddy ball basketball classes. it is a 9 week session that includes instruction, t-shirt, mini basketball and pictures.

so far she is enjoying it. she really isn’t the sporty type of girl, so this is kind of surprising. I think the next couple of years will be filled with mainly gymnastics and ballet/tap classes.

she is actually doing very well, too. I think by watching jj do the same stuff, she gets the idea of dribbling and shooting and passing. we just had picture day last week and she looked adorable.

jj started his youth basketball games a couple weeks ago. he is still in the 1/2 grade division, so this year he is one of the older ones on the team. last year, he only shot the ball once and missed, but at his first game of the season, he scored three points. his second game, his team got killed on the court. we couldn’t even get up the court because of their defense. we didn’t score any points. his third game was this past weekend and he scored 2 points. their team played much better than before. jj still needs to get better at dribbling and passing to teammates. I am excited to see how much he will improve by the end of the season.

he has two games this saturday and he has little league tryouts saturday morning. his best friend’s birthday party is on saturday night, so he is going to be VERY busy this weekend.
