My son had his first basketball practice tonight. He was excited and nervous to start since he has never played before. He was worried that all the other kids would be good and that he would be the worst player on the team. Well, there's only been one practice so far, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm pretty certain he is not the only kid on the team that has never played before. So, that's good for him (and his confidence).
I had to remind him several times to pay attention to the coach because he can be easily distracted, (I have NO idea where he gets that from...), but hopefully he will enjoy playing! And, I'll be honest, I hope he doesn't suck too bad at it. But, my hopes are not terribly high, at least for his first season. My oldest didn't make a basket during her first season until the very end of her last game. But, by her third season, she had become quite a good little player and made nearly all of her shots. Honestly, she was basically the best player on her team. So, here's hoping! :)
