Basketball

Karsten's basketball season is drawing to an end, he only has one more game.  It's been fun to watch him learn and play this season.  The boys have all started to work really well together and are learning new skills each week.

I'm learning a lot as well - for example, I know that I should not yell encouragement for basketball until I know more.  Yelling BLOCK HIM is not the appropriate encouragement, it's apparently better to say GUARD HIM!

Right about the time I took this, Scott reminded Karsten to keep his arms up - apparently that's how you do it.  See, my basketball knowledge is expanding weekly.

Today's practice was all about guarding your guy which was good since the other team was huge.  Our boys did a great job stealing the ball away, then shooting, but it was tough for them to rebound or stop passes that all happened over their heads.
