Tanya was out of town for a few days of Teacher Meetings, so it was important that I didn't forget this important activity.
Thanks, Lynn, for the reminder about it when I picked the kids up.
We scarfed down some pizza and were the first people to arrive at the Y. Alexia was excited as her friend is on the team so it was sure to be a blast.
Well... the 'blast' started off with Alexia getting wonked in the head by some other kids basketball.
Basketball Lesson #1: Don't hang out under the basket if you aren't paying attention.
After a few minutes of recuperation Alexia was ready to start practice and trotted off to the team meeting. Their team is the "Cougars".
They did a few drills and then started trying to shoot baskets. Here you can see Alexia showing off her shooting style, captured with a slow shutter speed from across the gymnasium:
Later, Alexia started training to become one of the Harlem Globetrotters:
I'm sure that Alexia will have fun playing basketball this year... especially since Elastic Girl is on her team:
Her first game is on Saturday, Jan 17th.
