Basketball

This is Tyler’s second year of playing basketball. It is so fun to watch him learn the game and improve. His first game, he scored 6 out of the 12 points and shot the game winning shot with 3 seconds left on the clock. He won player of the game for that and I was one proud mama. More than anything I was proud to see him being a good teammate – passing to other kids, getting the rebound, and encouraging his teammates. This is a vast improvement from last year where it was really a free-for-all with every kid just taking shots. They are playing him almost the entire game because he is good which is great for getting practice but come three in the afternoon, he is cranky and tired. He also started a conditioning program two times a week to work on gaining speed, strength and agility. I was happy for him because they usually don’t let seven year olds into the program but felt he had the attention span and coordination to keep up in class. He likes it and really thrives on doing lots of physical activities but it’s amped up our schedule again so that every day we have something after school. I guess the good thing about that is it makes the slooooow months of January and February go super fast.

He is number 12
