2nd grade basketball

So this year is the first year Maria has had a chance to try out basketball. I wasn't even going to mention it to her this winter (I just assumed she wouldn't be interested..) but she came to me asking if she could play. Well I am certainly not going to tell her no if she wants to try something new, so her basketball journey began! She has been doing pretty good for someone who has never played before. The coach is wonderful and is really teaching the girls the fundamentals of the game. She seems to be really enjoying herself and it's really good exercise to boot! Her team was undefeated up until this last game, where they lost by one point. They went up against another really good undefeated team and just couldn't quite pull it out, with the final score 15-16. But it's alright! They put forth a valiant effort and still had a good time. Way to go Maria, keep learning and most importantly, keep having fun! We will see if Maria's interest in the game will continue next year! I apologize for the poor pictures.. It is really hard to get a good action shot with this game!! I will try again next week and maybe post a little video clip.. Stay tuned!

Time-out huddle time...
