Last Saturday, Ian ended his basketball season with his last game! Ian has learned a lot about basketball participating in the YMCA league! When he started, he basically just knew how to dribble a little and shoot. Now, Ian can understand some of the different rules of basketball. He knows what defense and offense is, how to run and dribble pretty good, how to block his opponent with his hands up, how to try for a rebound and more! I'm so proud of him for trying hard and having fun! We had some rough spots, even where he didn't want to play anymore and would get really discouraged, but 'coach Mom' brought him out of it, and reminded him it was all about having fun! At this last game, Ian got to bring the ball down the court on the last two plays, and he actually made 2 baskets at the end of the game, scoring the tying baskets- even though no one kept score ;) - but I am really proud of him, and proud how he always showed good sportsmanship! Let's just say, Ian LOVED his medal that he got... maybe even more than playing the game! hahah!
