Well, at least the practice part of basketball. Jacob and Layne had first practices today, both started off with huge amounts of kids to contend with, the boys team was actually two teams practicing together and will be divided up shortly and the girls are three teams and will be divided up too, just not as quickly. All the added kids made for an intimidating atmosphere, especially for Jacob who has never played organized bball before. He sat this practice out, and the hope is that he will have an easier time participating with fewer kids on Monday's practice.
Layne's practice had twenty girls, but the practice went very smooth and was really well run. She had a hard time at first but got comfortable pretty quick and was dribbling the ball like a Globetrotter in no time. For not having played in a while her shot was falling and she had a nice follow through.
My hope is to get with Jacob tomorrow and shoot around on our hoop at home, get him comfortable and confident in himself. I know he can play, he just needs to believe that he can play and things should settle in for him.
