Now that Sadie has started kindergarten, she is finally getting old enough to try other sports. Soccer was really the first sport she could do at the age of 3 but now that she is 5 & in kinder, she is old enough for basketball. We are a busy family & we let her do quite a bit, but our 1 rule right now is 1 sport at a time. So we did fall soccer & now she is trying winter basketball. I recruited most of her team & Bryan is coaching. In fact, I asked her soccer team first & 4 of them wanted to play & then we asked friends from school. We met up this week for their first team meeting & practice. Normally, it will be indoor, but since the weather was so nice this week, we had outdoor practice instead. Sadie's soccer coach actually lives on a cul de sac so they rolled the basketball goal from the back to the front & the girls had plenty of room to run around & play:
I was surprised to see all 9 girls show up for practice since we scheduled it at the last minute but they had so much fun. I was really curious to see how they would do but they honestly surprised me! Bryan had them practice running & they ran a lot of drills:
It was quite comical watching them shoot baskets. They will play on a 8 foot goal & that's kind of high for them! Most of them could barely get the ball up that high. Sadie actually made a basket & somehow I caught it on my phone:
The little ones ran around & played also. Sophie just loves hanging with the boys:
Games start December 1 so we have a chance to get a few more practices in before then. Can't wait to see how they do & if they like it, especially since half of them already play soccer together. It's always more fun when you get to play with your friends:
