"Don't Forget to Dribble"

Basketball season begins today!
Noah was hesitant to play basketball this season, but after reading a note from my friend, Bonnie, about her son, Josh--Noah was convinced he should try (thanks so much Bonnie!!). The Golden Warriors took the court for the first time today. The Rec League offers "Pee Wee Ball" for 2nd and 3rd graders--their first opportunity to play the sport at this location. The players are just learning how to dribble, the basic rules of basketball, how to be a good team player and to show respect to their coaches, their team and the opposing team. We thoroughly enjoyed Noah's first game! It was absolutely adorable to watch--obviously the "rules and regulations" are much different for these first timers. Trey and I smiled throughout most of the game as the ref and coaches kept reminding their players to dribble--"don't forget to dribble" is the key phrase from this game!

Noah taking the ball down court--he rememberd to dribble

WOW--Noah dribbled the ball down the court, looked around for an open teammate and then took the shot. Unfortunately, he didn't sink it, but we were VERY impressed with his effort
Noah's awesome on defense
It's up and Noah SCORES!!!Good game Golden Warriors!
