Right before the boys finished football, we enrolled them in basketball. Unfortunately, the two sports overlapped by a couple of weeks so the boys had to miss one game of each. We decided to put them in basketball because they had previously had no experience with basketball, and it is one of those sports that you should know how to play in case your friends ever play a quick pick-up game of basketball.
At first the boys were very unhappy about playing. They did learn quickly. The thing about basketball is that confidence and aggressiveness are the keys to being good at basketball, neither of which my boys had. Oh, height helps a lot too. We put Michael on the same team as Adam, so he was playing with boys that were a couple of years older than him. Next time we do it, we will put him on a team with kids his own age, and I bet he will be a lot better.
Adam did really well at passing and getting the ball. He even scored!
The boys with their coach, Brother Hayes. Brother Hayes used to play for the NBA.
I'm so proud of my boys for trying something they had never done before and doing so well!
