Basketball School

As soccer came to an end, we signed Evan up to start basketball camp at the local YMCA.  This is the biggest and busiest Y in the Charlotte area...it is crazy!  After taking soccer at a private facility with a smaller number of kids, Evan was a little overwhelmed on his first day at the Y in a gym full of about 30 three to five year olds.  They broke up into several smaller groups of more manageable size and learned all about shooting, dribbling, and playing defense. 


Evan warms up with some practice shots.



Score!



He had to hang onto his favorite colored ball...and was satisfied until he saw another kid had a Transformers ball. 



I love this after-shot stance!



Listening to the coaches.



Learning the "seatbelt" hold.



My favorite part of sports at the Y...the ending prayer!  Evan prayed for "his" new baby!


On the second day of basketball school, Evan did much better.  He participated and listened well to all the coaches instructions.  He also made sure to get the Transformers ball this time!  ;-)


With his beloved Transformers Bumblebee ball!



Learning all the different passes.  This is the soccer pass so of course he loved it!



Sitting down with the whole group to talk and say the prayer.



I love his little praying face!
