New Sport

John did it again to Elliott. He signed him up for another sport.  He is trying to keep the boy active and in shape.  Now the three of us need to join him. 

So Elliott has been learning basketball.  Practice started in December and he is enjoying it.  The coach makes it fun.  They think they are playing yet they are learning so much during practice.  I enjoy going to practice with Elliott. Not only do I see how much he is learning, I am learning also.  Plus, I get to see these young, talented athletes learn and grow.  Soon they’ll be seniors and we, parents, will be reminiscing.

Saturday they had their first game.  We had to be at the school early but the boys were ready.  They had fun, made it look like they had been playing for a while and they won!  I have a short video as I ran out of space on the video camera.  Lesson learned. That won’t happen again. But I am not able to upload it at this time, so here is a photo. I'll keep trying.

Elliott is the third kid under the basket - the tall one!

Elliott is #8.  For his first year, he did exceptionally well.  He proved to be a great guard (knew he would be), he was quick to get rebounds, and he made two baskets!  I enjoyed cheering him and his team on! 

 

Go Panthers!
