Saturday our boys played in their first basketball games here in Rota. Each of them is playing for the Lakers, however, they're in separate leagues because of the age difference. Is my husband, the die hard Celtics fan, happy that the boys are playing for the Lakers? Not so much... but it's intramurals and they won't play for the Lakers forever. He can get past it.
The little man's team won by
one point, making for a very exciting game. He had an okay game, but needs to practice a bit on his dribbling skills as the ball was stolen from him nearly every time, but fun was had, and that's what's important, right? Never mind that we made him run laps for missing that shot. I'm just kidding!
To his credit, little man played some pretty good defense. Look at this defensive stance! See that kid behind mine? He's the reason we won the game. He made most of our baskets.
Big man rode the bench at the start of his game. He looks pretty comfortable there with his legs crossed, chatting with his teammates.
I have a feeling the reason sitting the bench was comfortable is because his shorts don't fit as they're entirely too big in the waist. His shorts were cinched up as tight as they could possibly be, but he continually tugged at them and fiddled with the drawstring throughout the game.
Of course he managed to finally untie the drawstring altogether, and thankfully it was toward the end of the game, because all he could do at this point was constantly pull up his shorts. His team got spanked by a team that is filled with older, more experienced kids. The only thing I have to say about that is... Why bother with skills assessment if you're only going to allow this to happen? Can anyone answer that question? All the kids know this team has the advantage, so they're intimidated and parents are upset. Gotta love kids' sports!
