Eli Plays Hoops

Eli played in his first basketball game last Saturday! We signed him up through the YMCA and were curious how 4-5 year olds were going to be able to get the hang of playing basketball. They surprised us with dribbles, passes, and successful shots! Eli really enjoyed playing and also surprised us with his skills. He was aggressive and went for the ball, played some good defense, and he even hit a shot! Eli seems more confident in basketball than he did in soccer. Maybe it's in the genes! Jed really wanted to play on the court during the game, but after we gave him a ball, he was content to stay on the sidelines and roll the ball back and forth. It was so much fun for all of us. I can't wait for more!
