I don't know about you, but I am ready for some basketball.  My son began middle school practice this week.  I thoroughly enjoy watching and playing the game.  I am also ready to watch KU basketball.  On the other hand, I enjoy playing noon ball with several guys a few days a week.  It is great exercise and some days I even feel good about how I played. Basketball, like many team sports, requires a group of guys or gals to learn to trust and work together.  Each individual must do their part for the team to be successful.  Without your team, you won't win too many games.  As we play at noon hour, we have to rely and depend on other's skills not just our own.  I am not tall enough to post up well and I am not a consistent three point shooter, but I do think I pass and rebound well.

Mitchell really enjoys basketball. His team is doing great as they have only lost one game. It is so fun watching him cheer and get excited for his team. He encourages them both on and off the court.

You could see it on his face. His grandma and grandpa were there to see it too. His sisters' were excited for him as well. This has been a good season to teach him about patience and teamwork. We have been able to talk about the importance of playing defense and making good passes. It also has challenged him to want to get better by practicing. It has been fun watching him get better.
