I know. I know. I have no good excuses. So I won't. We have a lot of ground to cover, so Imma break these up into a couple of different posts.
Nico's basketball season ended. He had so much fun with it. About half-way through the season, one of his coaches (Ira- the one in the middle above) asked if Nico wanted to hang out and play in the session following ours. Well- we're a coaching family. We know what is up. So, we did- and Nico loved it.
Nico is #7 in the grey above. We're working on him not running away from the ball. Turns out, this is the same in soccer as in basketball.
The best thing that Ira told us? He told us not to focus on the baskets- at some point, all the kids' shooting abilities will likely even out- and average shooters are a dime a dozen. Ball handlers? Now, that is a different story. A good ball handler? In demand everywhere. Which is great, because one doesn't have to be very big to be a good ball handler.
