Basketball

Ashton wanted to play basketball this winter on the traveling team so we signed him up.  They have practice a couple of times a week and then tournaments on Saturdays.  The first few were "non competitive tournaments" meaning that they didn't keep score and were just getting a feel for how to play the game and learning skills.  Competitive tournaments start after the first of the year.  He had a really steep learning curve because he had never played before and most of these kids had.  But I think he is doing great so far.   And he is making good friends and learning a lot both about basketball and being a good teammate and competitor.  Our neighbor, Paul, is the coach because Reid is also on the team.

 

Also as part of the association the kids got to play in a mini game at half time of the high school boys basketball game.  It was really fun for them.

Here is Ashton setting a nice pick for his teammate.  

Another tournament

Nice rebound.
