It's no secret that my kids have grown up with a soccer ball (or 2-3 of them) at their every disposal - they've been kicking one around since they could walk. Go figure, their mama played soccer from the age of 5 through college and then coached for many years at the high school level. Heck, Thomas has already played 2 seasons of soccer and will soon be enjoying an indoor soccer season later this winter.
But now we have added a new sport - basketball. Having grown up in Baltimore much of his childhood & playing plenty of basketball, this is more of Daddy's territory than mine.
I wish I had played this sport growing up - frankly, I'm not really sure why I never got into it. Sorry... I digress. When Thomas showed an interest in giving it a try, we said sure and signed him up. However, we quickly realized that he knew far less about basketball than soccer and the fact that we didn't even own a basketball was a glaring problem. With limited practices so far & games starting this weekend, we figured we ought to spend some time on the nearby basketball court and practice the basics (after running out to the sports store)... dribbling, bounce passes, shooting and rebounding. Here's some pictures from last night's Fall Ball session down the street:
