B-BALL

Another sport was attempted by one Avery Charles

We tried basketball

She loved the practices, but didn't really like the games.

I think the games were a little too overwhelming.  She would get rushed during a game and wouldn't be sure if she was on defense or offense, so she would get flustered and take herself out. No joke. We would look up and she would just be sitting on the bench and the coach would have to call a time out and sub in a new player.

She loved to practice shooting, and really the only way she could make a basket was to shoot granny style. The hoops were pretty tall for this skinny little 5 year old. 

She definitely took to basketball more than soccer. We will have to try it again next year, she will be the oldest instead of the youngest and will definitely be a bawler!

Notice how focused she is on her team and game

This was after she took herself out in a game and I had to go and calm her down and explain the rules

Her team. 
And seriously, can we not be the gray team anymore. I Avery wants a fun color for once!
