Youth Basketball

We signed Addison up for youth basketball this year.  Basketball is both mine and Marshall’s favorite sport to play, so we were hoping Addison would like it too.  It may be a bit too early to tell if she will like it when she is older, but this picture shows how into it she wasn’t. . . .

All the action is happening behind her, and she is completely oblivious to it! ha ha
Marshall coached her team. She said she would play if Marshall was her coach.  Marshall was a great coach, but he said it was really frustrating at times.  It didn’t help that Marshall picked 3 preschoolers (the age group is suppose to be Kindergartners and 1st graders so I’m not sure how preschoolers were able to sign up) but Marshall didn’t know any of the kids when he went to the draft meeting.  He ended up picking the youngest, shortest kids!  It made for an entertaining season!

By the last game, Addison was showing a slight bit of interest in what was going on.  She actually got a few rebounds, shot the ball once, and would run after the ball rather then stand with her arms inside her shirt (as she did the first few games).  All in all, it was a good experience!
