It's never too late to learn basketball







We finally signed up Tanner, Connor and Sydney in a basketball league. As of last year they could barely dribble, so we weren't so sure how they would do on a team. But there is a very non-competitive church league that they all get to play on the same team and so far have had a lot of fun on. The coaches are so nice and the games are very relaxed. The coaches match up players according to ability and they are only allowed to guard that person. Everyone gets a turn to bring the ball down and feels a part of the team. They are really enjoying learning how to play and they actually practice dribbling and shooting at home. Allie has even had them all outside with cones doing drills (along with push-ups if you are not respectful). We are happy that they are at least learning the game and having fun!

Having watched one of those games, I'd say the triplets are off to a great start!! I *loved* watching them bring that ball down the court! Loved the pictures, too. Go triplets!!

my kids will have to wait for brad to build a hoop before they ever get a chance to learn the basketball.
