Travis got his first basket yesterday during his second practice. Boy was he excited! He wriggled for about 2 minutes afterwards and I thought his grin might split his face apart. His first game is tomorrow. It promises to be total chaos, but I’m guessing he’ll have fun.
After sitting through 2 of Travis’s practices, Hallie was wishing she’d signed up, too. I talked to the head of the program. Turns out one team had lost several players, so there was space. AND there was the all-important factor of another girl on the team. She’s the coach’s daughter, so I doubt she’s going anywhere.
The team Hallie’s friends Jacob and Ryland were on was over-crowded and their coach wasn’t happy about it. So, we did some talking and some juggling last night and now Hallie, Jacob, Ryland, and another friend named Gabe will all be on “The Orange” (strange name, I know) together.
This means we’ll be having 2 games every Saturday, often separated by a couple of hours. But at least the kids will have back-to-back practices, which means only one week night devoted to basketball. I don’t honestly expect either to be the star of their teams but I think they’ll get better and have a lot of fun. And I won’t mind chatting with all the parents we’ll know on each team!
