Basketball

So this year is C.J.'s first year playing basketball. we are doing a Start Smart Basketball through Park and Rec. He is loving it. Every practice they stretch and then move among 4 stations, learning and practicing new techniques. They work on passing, dribbling,shooting a basket, walking while dribbling and running sideways and so forth.

It has been so much fun to watch him do something he loves. He suddenly seems so grown up. I'm excited that he is showing an interest in sports. This can be a fun way to get exercise, improve motor skills, learn to follow directions, work as a team, make friends and develop a live long love of being active. You can see his self-esteem rise and build as he masters new skills.
