First day of basketball.
They set up four different workshops, and at each one they learned and
practiced a different technique. At the first station, they practiced passing the ball back and forth.
I wish this picture was in focus.
They learned to get their arms up, and block or guard their opponent.
And to be open for when their team had the ball.
Watching Aiden dribble is hilarious. It's something we need to practice, for sure. This guy had them
dribble the ball ten times. Then they had to look him in the eye and dribble the ball five times. And then he had them close their eyes and dribble three times. He struggled a little, but he is only five and has no experience with basketball. For the most part, he did great.
They played a mini scrimmage game at the end of the hour, and it was pretty hilarious to watch.
One kid ran around with the ball the whole time, while all the other kids ran around him. Every once in a while the kid with the ball would throw the ball and try to make a basket, and someone else would run around with the ball for a while. And every one else ran around with their arms up, looking busy :)

Holy cow... when did Aiden get so big? Those pictures are so cute and so grown up.
I lOVE basketball! Wish I could see him play. He's going to have to come to Moab and show off his skills.
