Little Hoopsters

One of our new rituals for the new year is a trip to the Lewistown YMCA on Sunday afternoons. We signed Malin up for a 4 and 5 year old basketball team. Marina is signed up also -- they didn't get put on the same team, but they don't seem to mind. This past Sunday was their first practice. Mommy and Daddy stayed and watched (Gavin went to the park with Nana). Their coaches showed them chest passes, bounce passes, dribbling and shooting. Malin's passing is fine, and she is one of the few girls tall/strong enough to actually get the ball up over the rim (The baskets were set at 7 1/2 feet), but Daddy needs to work with her on her dribbling (Mommy is not sure that Daddy can help!). Marina mostly just needs to work on her concentration! Here's a few pictures of the girls in action.
