Basketball

Yesterday afternoon Ben and Rebecca had their second basketball games of the season. Ben is in the under 10 league at the JCC and Becca is in the under 8 league. Becca is still getting the hang of it, though she plays really good defense she still is not quite sure what to do on offense when she does not have the ball. She did score her first basket in today's game though! And she was so proud of herself (and us of her) afterwards!

Ben's league keeps score and plays full court basketball, with the only amendments to the rules being no double teaming and no pressing. Ben is so fun to watch on the basketball court, he hustles on both offense and defense, making some great plays. He scored probably half of his team's points in yesterday's game, and though they lost, it was close up until the final quarter. When he scores he doesn't celebrate or even look around at me or anything he just runs right back on defense. And even in defeat, he was good-natured and had a smile on his face after the game. Love that kid, so proud of him!
