YMCA Basketball

Last night, Ethan had his first YMCA Basketball practice. Very important since Rick is now "Coach Waters" and will be coaching the 3 and 4 year olds this summer. We've got two practices and then they play 8 games. They will use a "mini-ball" and shoot on 6 foot rims. All 10 kids showed up for our first practice where the biggest thrill was probably getting to pick out a jersey. Ethan immediately noticed that there colors were quite like the BRONCOS! That's my boy! As you would imagine, they all have widely varying skills, but it looked like everyone was having fun and the parents all seem like a nice bunch (a couple of the dads helped out as assistant coaches). Rick did a great job encouraging the kids to have a good time and learn a little about how to play the game. We're looking forward to this season.
