Girls basketball

Madi taking a shot
Stake basketball is underway... Lyrad and I love watching our girls in action! None of our 3 are very experienced at basketball but they get out there and try hard for the ball. We were laughing at how aggressive Eliza and Madi were -- they kept stealing the ball from the other team and taking off down the court. In the photo above, the 3 red shirts are Rileys. With 20 seconds left in the game, the game was tied, so it was intense... but then our team won!! So exciting, especially after Isaac's basketball game earlier that day in which they were absolutely creamed.

Good job girls. Becca is playing in a local basketball league, and the girls love to fight over the ball. There are literally more "jump balls" than baskets made each game.

I finally taught Becca how to crouch down and protect the ball (with her bent elbows pointing out and her hips swiveling), and that has discouraged the other girls from trying to reach in.
