basketball practice


Today I took Gabriel (my 7 year old) to a basketball skills practice at his school. When we got to the gym he took off...grabbed a ball and started shooting. I was so proud of how he just jumped in.

During the practice he was taught some basic drills: dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense.

Then came the game a 5 on 5 scrimmage. Gabriel was put on a team and given a jersey. One of the coolest things was whenever Gabriel would score or make a rebound or score he would look over to me to see if I was watching. Of course, I was giving him a handclap and the thumbs up and saying "good - job."

It was a cool father/son moment.
