Last night we had the privilege of watching Brooklyn play in her first ever basketball game! She joined the night league through school with her friend so they play for the PCS Pacers Grade 4/5 team. Except she and her friend are the only grade 4's on there and neither one has ever played before !
We were so proud - and surprised - Brooklyn is TOUGH! She kept looking left to right to make sure she was on her check, she ran down the court dribbling while holding out her arm to guard off her opponent, and whenever another girl tried to grab the ball from her you should have seen her grit her teeth! She almost looked mad she was so intense! It was hilarious to watch and good to see her getting a more cardiovascular workout than the dance classes can provide. At this point the tall girls are the only ones who stand a chance at shooting at the net but it was fun to see them give their best out there.
And Zachary's football team is in full swing. They are so fun to watch because the skill level at this age is really quite good. We were very proud of him; after about 4 tryouts he made the Gold team for his age category. So a higher calibre but still no travelling further than Metchosin so suits us just fine. It's just so neat to see them make plays that are thought out. And this is where Zachary is quite good; he has a head for the game and where ball placement should take place to produce the most scoring opportunities. Little athletes........ahhhh........
