We signed Logan up for another basketball league, and the start of the season was postponed from December to now.  Logan did not seem as interested in basketball lately as he often chose to play soccer when given choices.  But when he and I walked into the gym at school, he seemed interested and wanted to find the team and coach.  Once we said hi to the new coach, Logan happily received the ball from him and started doing warm-up.  Logan has matured a lot these days and does not mind joining into new things straight away.  He was polite with his shooting and tried not to run into others.  The practice began when all four girls and four boys arrived.  The coach talked with the kids for awhile, and somehow he really got their attention.  They warmed up then started their drills.  All the kids were in similar levels and they all tried doing their best.  Logan did fine with everything and made many baskets throughout the practice.  He must be having fun too as he occasionally made some dance moves while waiting for his turns in line.  Overall, I was surprised how well and attentive all the kids behaved with a new coach today. 

    After the practice, Logan was so happy to receive his jersey.  When I was talking to him on our drive home, Logan said the new coach was nice.  One thing he added was that the new coach did not speak as loud as his previous basketball coach and so he had to stay close to hear the instruction.  Maybe this was the secret of capturing the kids’ attention.
