Marcus' First Game

 

We woke up this morning, had a nice breakfast and headed to the gym for Marcus' first game.  Daddy made sure his shoes were on tight.

 

Ironically Marcus' team is the same color as the girls.  We honestly didn't plan that!  He's ready to play!  He admitted he was a little bit nervous...but excited.

 

He got right in there for warm ups. 

 

A quick meeting with Coach Dunham and Coach Nick to let the boys know what to expect.  This is a team of Kindergartners and 1st graders.

 

They matched up with the other team.

He took defense seriously.

 

He never let his man go...he was a bit confused between offense and defense though; he ran right to his man at all times; offense or defense...he also tried to guard him while on offense...it's a learning curve and only the first game.  He'll get it eventually...it was pretty cute and he was so proud.

 

He got to throw it inbounds to his teammates...great job Marcus!

 

 

Quick team meeting at the end.

 

Olivia was so sweet.  She went up and congratulated all the boys.  Such a great sister showing her support.  I am loving basketball so far...it's so fun to watch these little ones learn the game.  Can't wait to see them learn and have fun!
