I am having an absolute blast lately coaching my YMCA basketball team. I've written about them on a couple of occasions before, so I figure it's time to share some photos of the Eagles. Erica took the pictures in the collage above during this weekend's game.
For as much as the kids get riled up (and occasionally out of control) during practices they're genuinely playing like a team during games with great defense and excellent passing. For me, those are the two most important skills they can take away from the season.
I'm so proud to see the kids apply what they've learned and work together to get everyone involved. All but one of the 11 team members have scored this season, which is a significant accomplishment. I get such a kick out of seeing each player's enthusiasm when the ball goes through the hoop, not to mention the genuine excitement of the parents.
In short, the Eagles are soaring. Here's to two more weeks of fun before we call it a season.
