The kids participated in rec basketball again this year. This was their second season participating in basketball, and they both had a lot of fun. Olivia moved up to the 9-10 year old division, so the referees were a lot stricter on making sure the players followed all of the rules. Olivia gave it her all whenever she got into the game, and she improved as the season went on. We were happy that she was placed on the same team as Ava, so we were able to cheer for both girls at the same time.
Owen moved up to play in the 7-8 year old division this year. It was his first time playing "real" basketball, and he also did a good job. Owen is an easy-going kid, and he was stand-offish when it came to going after the ball. Being aggressive was one of the main things that we tried to work on during the season. He did get more comfortable as the season went on, and he learned a lot about the game this year.
Each team had 2 to 3 games a week and on different nights, so for the last month we have been at the gym five nights a week. We were not alone- there was a large crowd present to cheer for the kids at each of their games. Gigi and Papa rarely ever missed a game, and all of their Aunts and Uncles made it to at least one game. The kids received a participation trophy at the end of the season. Now that the season is over we can get a break- at least until softball/baseball season in the spring.
