Summer basketball

We decided to put the boys in summer basketball this year. This is Matt's first time playing basketball.

He's all ready to get in the game. This league requires the kids to wear mouth guards.

Matt is still trying to figure out how the game works. But he's doing great so far.

I love Matt's tenacity. He always does his best and goes after it even when he's blocked.

Andrew's the old pro, almost literally. He looks to be the oldest and tallest kid on his team, maybe all the teams. He's played in leagues for years now, and he knows how it works. That last sentence is so weird in describing my just turned 11 year-old.

He's using his height to his advantage and was a monster inside. I think he had about 10 blocks like this.

While he had a bunch of lay-ups like this, I think he scored about 28 points, I was more proud of him for trying to include his teammates and trying to help them score. He did a great job showing some humility and teamwork.
