Hoop Dreams

Henry started Jr. Jazz this year.

I thought that there was no way they could teach 1st graders to play such a complex sport,

but I was wrong.

They have lots and lots of practices and just a few games.

....and a coach who is super patient and very good with kids.

{Coach Player...isn't that a perfect name for a coach?}

They do lots of drills.

Ones that teach you not to travel...

Ones that help you perfect your shuffle...

And ones where you shoot the ball over the tallest kid on your team...

Jr. Jazz has only been going on for a week but Henry has loved it

and keeps asking when he will just be on the Jazz and not on the Junior Jazz anymore.

I don't want to ruin his Hoop Dreams, so I just tell him, "One day, Honey".
