Connor chose to play soccer this spring, and Logan decided against it, so we registered him in basketball.  Both of their seasons started this week.  Connor’s first practice was on Tuesday.  Stuart drove the kids to the field while I met them there, coming straight from work.  The coach was friendly to the kids and seemed quite energized.  He did not waste any time, and started the kids with drills.  None of the kids knew each other, but with the coach’s energy, all the kids just jumped in and followed the lead.  It was a good packed hour of practice and the kids did well.  Stuart and Logan did a little soccer kicking and basketball playing on their own while we waited.

   Logan’s basketball practice was on Wednesday.  I came home just in time to stay with Connor so Stuart and Logan took off to the gym at an elementary school.  When we were given the rooster for the team two weeks ago, there was no coach assigned.  So Stuart dressed in shorts just in case he had to help out if no coach showed up.  According to Stuart, there was a coach there and he was quite seasoned.  He did some cool drills, and he was able to capture the kids’ attention.  Logan was a bit tentative but he did well making baskets.

   It seems like this season will be great with good coaches.  Connor’s first game is this Saturday already.
