Just like a sportsball card!

The whole team

Ivan still can’t dribble, but he’s learning to play as part of team and has improved a lot since game #1 of the season.

Learning strategy with Coach Mike

Practicing positioning themselves

“Parents – you are going down!” For the last class of the Tot Basketball session, there is a game played that is parents versus kids.

Ivan was excited to “verse Daddy” in this game.

This is the victory celebration of Team Kid. They won 24 to 12.

Here are action shots from the game.

Ivan makes a basket. What is not shown is Coach Mike tipping the basket forward for the assist.

Coach Mike explains the 5 rules of class.
1) no hitting, shoving or kicking (isn’t that 3 rules, Coach?)
2) when the whistle blows STOP
3) ???
4) Do not leave class with a stranger only with your family, babysitter
5) have FUN! I have already forgotten a fifth of the rules.
The one for parents was PLEASE have them go to the bathroom before class. We only have 45 minutes and we want to keep them here the whole time.

It’s warm up time. Here’s Ivan in his brand new ninja turtle shoes.

Ivan can’t really dribble or bounce pass, but he had a blast trying.

This shot actually went in the hoop.

Here’s his after class happy dance blurry Ivan.
