Brinley has been playing basketball with the YMCA for the last month. She came home from school one day in November asking me to play. We are not a basketball family. We don't watch it on TV, attend games (other than high school games my cousin's son plays in a few times) but a boy in her class plays so she wanted to give it a shot!
She has really enjoyed practicing and has shown more aggression than she did in soccer with rebounding and wanting the ball. She is definitely the fastest one on her team and is the first one down the court to be on defense! The first game was completely hilarious! With only 1 practice before the first game, the kids were traveling a lot, falling on the ground, and shooting at the wrong baskets! I wish I would have videoed it! 4 games in, the kids have improved tremendously and are actually passing to other teammates when they don't have a shot. It is amazing how quickly they can pick up a sport at this age! I think basketball is a sport we will be playing for a few years to come, especially once Clayton turns 5 and can play because he is anxious to get in on the action!!!!
