This winter Sam has been playing on a kindergarten basketball team. They have a small team, 7 boys and 1 girl. The girl happens to be their star player, followed by Miles who sacrifices his body for the ball! That would be great except Miles is also the smallest player on the team! Things in kindergarten basketball defy what most of us would think of as normal...in more than these 2 ways. The refs are super patient and act more as instructional coaches than whistle blowing rule enforcers. A small amount of traveling and double dribbling is allowed but fouls are called so there is a pretty strong hands off policy which I find funny because most of them are actually afraid of the ball!
Today was Sam's big day. He scored his 1st basket!! It was very exciting for our whole family. We had to call Daddy as soon as we got to the car. Sam was excited to score 2 points but disappointed that his team still lost. Maybe next time.
Here are some basketball photos of Sam. These were taken at his last game, not today. Today we were too excited to take any photos!
