Hoopin' it up!!

Kindergarten basketball is a hoot. Imagine this 5 six year olds running back and forth chasing after a basketball then when they have the chance chunking it up towards the hoop. Bubby is doing great even with this being his first year playing. He has great coaches who are doing a great job keeping the chaos contained. Admittingly so, we are those crazy yelling parents on the sidelines. The most common phrases we say are "SHOOT!" and "Get your guy". When he drives toward the basket, he tends to hold the ball and dance around until his guy has enough time to get on him. Meanwhile we are screaming SHOOT SHOOT!!! He continues to dance around until he has it all lined up and finally shoots. He actually has a pretty good shot and has been making a basket or two every game. The way they assign the man on man defense is by colors. Each boy has one wristband that they wear and they defend the boy on the other team who has the same color. The first game Bubby was enamored by wearing the wristbands. He acted like he was a superhero PowerRanger and keep doing karate moves towards his guy. He was cracking us up!! This KungFu movements have subsided some but every once in a while he cracks off a karate chop action towards his guy. We have really enjoyed watching him play. We will definitely play again. We have 4 more games then it is off to a new season...tball. This go around little sister is playing too!!! Oh BOY!!


By the way Bubby is #4
