Upwards 1st practice

Brody will be playing Upwards basketball this upcoming year at our church.  This is where kids from age 5 to 5th grade have the opportunity to play basketball or cheer.  The purpose of Upwards is to provide a fun and safe environment for kids to play basketball.  At the young ages, score isn't kept - it's about allowing everyone to play.  There is also a devotion so the kids and parents can learn about God's love for them.  We usually have over 100 kids playing and Jason has helped coach since our church started hosting Upwards about 8 years ago.  He has coached  3rd grade, 7 & 8th grade, and now he is coaching 5 year olds - yeah what a difference this year will be.

A few weeks ago, they had their first practice.  Brody was so excited and ready.


There are 5 kids on the team - 4 boys and 1 girl.  He had a lot of fun, however, I think it may be easier for Jason if Brody was on a different team.  You know your kids perform better for someone else than you.  Oh well, we will see how these 8 weeks go.
 


Taking a break and listening to Coach Brown tell about David and Goliath.

Back to some drills
