| Sarah's basketball team showing their silly side. |
Sarah had another successful year of basketball. We were a little concerned the first few times went to practice because she had been put on an established team that lived on the hill nowhere near us. There were 2 other girls from our school on her team (both 6th graders, gasp) and we were a little worried that this new team, who most of them played together would play favorites to the girls they were used to. I saw it happen a little, but overall I was very pleased with her new team. The coaches worked the girls really hard. Most often they had a 2 hour practice on Saturdays and then an hour or hour and a half practice during the week, along with their game. They worked with the girls and taught them the fundamentals of basketball and really spent time with those who weren't getting it. It was nice to see. They had some issues too. The team wasn't very good at passing and it showed in the games. Even though the coaches taught passing the guards didn't pass, but instead drove in to the corner and lost the ball almost every time. They won a little less than half their games, but Sarah still enjoyed playing and she enjoyed her teammates It was a good year and I think she'll play again next year.
