Every year, for the past 40+ years, our ward holds a basketball tournament. There are 8 men's teams that play (you have to be at least 12 to participate), youth teams ages 7-11 and a women's game. There is a ton of food for sale that is the Young Men's and Young Women's fundraiser. They even sale t-shirts! This is our second year participating, Will's first year on a "real" team! He did great! So did Scott!
The tournament is help from 6-10 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night! It's so fun!
All the fall sports are coming to an end, part of me is relived and part of me wishes it cam continue. I signed up Brigs for a three month three sport activity at the Lion's Club. September he played T-ball, October he played soccer and November he's been playing basketball. It's funny to watch these 3 year old's "play" basketball! They have fun drills to help kids at that age!
Throwing a balloon up in the air and catching it is one of the stations.
Passing a ball back and forth is another station. I love this picture. Look closely how Gavin knows I'm snapping shots and he's smiling away as he keeps passing the ball back and forth. Now, look at Brigham. Nice nickel slot!
It's adorable to see how low the hoop was and the kids still hardly made it in! Brigham held his own considering he's a literally a head above the other kids!
Jackson, Tyler and Gavin started basketball a few weeks ago. They have practice once a week and games every Saturday. They all seem to enjoy playing and practicing at home. Scott and I bought them each a basketball to practice drills and shooting.
Tyler usually scores 3-4 times each game! He's a maniac out there!
Gavin's team does a lot of drills and teaching them the fundamentals of the game. The kid he's practicing with looks waaay too big to be playing in Gavin's league!
During the games the other brothers get a little bored! They enjoy playing on my phone...
Scott co-coaches Jackson's team. (Surprise, surprise Jackson's team doesn't have a coach! EVERY sport Jack plays he NEVER has a couch and Scott always has to step up and fill in! What is with that?!?!)
Jackson enjoys playing, he just doesn't have the enthusiasm like the other brothers.
There are 4 more weeks of this season and then another basketball season begins. Not sure if the boys are wanting to play more or be on swim team again. We'll see!
