Ellie played in the rec league basketball again this year. Every year, it is fun to watch the improvements in the skills of the girls. This year, the team was balanced with about the same level of skill. So, the girls really had to rely on each other rather than one or two “more skilled” players. I think it helped them all grow, try things that wouldn’t have (dribbling more, shooting, etc), and become more confident. They (unfortunately) didn’t win very many games, but I was so proud of the the team, their perseverance, and their encouragement of one another. Here are a few moments from the season:
And a few with her fans after the last game. (Grandma Yoh was a fantastic supporter as well, but due to pneumonia, wasn’t able to make the last few games.)
On a sad (?) note, this is our last rec league sport. From now on, it is school sports (big leagues!). While I feel like I should be a little sad about this milestone, I am not really. It is fun to watch the kids grow up and move on to the next level. Looking back, I will probably think I moved on too quickly.
