Upward Basketball

After football season I was eager to start a whole new sport. I wasn't sure if Drew would be interested in it, even though he said he would. The first practice was interesting to say the least. My child has not played the game before or even seen a game on TV. So it was no shock to me when I noticed that he could not pass the ball with one bounce. 

I figured he needed a little sports diversity. 


The coach is a very patient guy and loves to teach the team "secret" plays. 



We are about half way through with his season and he's made a lot of improvement!! 
At the first game he'd prefer to hang out under the basket while the his teammates ran back and forth. 
He loves to "cover" his guy and play defense with his hands in the air. 
We are still working on our shot's but he'd rather pass to another player instead of shooting. 
Works for me!
