Basketball

Basketball has started again. This year Camden actually gets to play. Beck has really improved since last year. It has been fun to watch him grow. I love their coach. It's all about having fun and he's good at making sure all the kids get a chance with the ball. The kids on the team have a lot of fun and play pretty well too. 

This past game a great thing happened for Beck. He got the ball quiet a few times but every time he did he would go to half court and stop to pass it off. We kept yelling for him to keep going but he wouldn't. Finally, near the end of the game he got a little confidence and took it farther. He tried for a basket but missed. I was just so excited he actually tried. He got the ball again and went to for the basket again and made it! He was so excited. I didn't get a picture of it, but he remembers it and is still excited he got it. I hope this gives him a little confidence to keep trying to make baskets. 

 Beck is one of the tallest on his team, which helps for blocking and rebounding. 

 On the other hand Camden is one of the shortest,but he is pretty quick. He needs to get a little confidence like Beck is getting. He tends to stay in the back of the court or the side. Every once in a while he'll try for the ball, but quickly hands it off. I think by the end of the season he'll try for a basket. We're glad he is able to try it out this year. You always know where the ball is in games like theses, 90% of the kids are right on the ball trying to get it.
