Both Alex and Nathan had their first games on Saturday. Nathan was so anxious to play. He is amazing at dribbling the ball and I'd have to say that was probably his favorite part of playing the game. He had a great time and we enjoyed watching him and all the kids play. They were really cute!

Alex had a fun time, too, but got a little frustrated at times. They did things a little differently for his game. They had one boy from each team wear a different colored jersey, so then each child would know who he/she was supposed to guard. This may have helped playing defense, but since most of the kids still don't really know their team mates that well, it made playing offense difficult and confusing. It was even harder for Alex. His first practice was cancelled and he missed the second practice, so Saturday's game was his first time to meet his coach, his team and actually play a basketball game. But despite all of that, he had lots of enthusiasm and played hard. Tomorrow he'll get a chance to practice with his team, and I know that's going to help take some of the confusion away.

Next Saturday they'll get to play another game and I'm looking forward to it!
