Basketball…

I can’t believe it…Sureshot time is around the corner.  I swore when I coached the girls that I would never put my own child into basketball so early but here I am getting ready to sign up.  Not only getting ready to sign up, but already being asked to join a team and then shop for an organization to take us.  Kind of like a jr. club team except…the kids might suck…and the kids are young!   I decided to at least check it out to gauge how Jack is compared to the other boys.   Jack is about average height which isn’t bad considering almost all the boys on the team are hapa.   I would say he is the 3rd best of the team overall and maybe the best shooter on the team.  Jack is the only one to consistently make shots:

He is so-so in dribbling:

Horrible in catching passes…but getting better (yes this is not a picture of him passing):

The only one to make a running layup:

All I know is that I am glad I am not coaching.   It was fun to just sit back, relax and watch…although the Coach was making me help and has been trying to get me help more…but I was fine sitting down and taking pictures!
