Jolie, Genevieve and Jillian are all playing basketball this winter. Jolie and Genevieve are on the same team which makes practices and games very easy. Jillian is on a team with a friend so she really likes that too. This Saturday was game day. It was so much fun to watch them play. All 3 are very new to this sport but are doing so well. Genevieve has a lot of confidence with dribbling and takes it down the court almost every time. Jolie is getting used to her height as advantage and is jumping up to get those rebounds.
Jacob and Giselle are the best cheerleaders the girls could ask for. They cheer and scream for them the whole game. It is so sweet.
There goes Genevieve she's taking it down the court. You can see Coach Fox in the background. He was very excited to help coach Jolie and Genevieve's team!
Jolie is in the green penny. The other team had only 4 girls so one of our teams girls would take a turn on their team every few minutes. It is Jolie's turn and she did great!
This is the score at halftime...but when they came back they were fired up. I don't know what Coach Fox told them but they brought it and won 17-4. Genevieve scored the final basket.
Later that day it was Jillian's turn to play. She has so much determination and really gets into it. I really like how they have the girls wear sweat bands on their wrists and than they have to find the girl on the opposite team with the same color sweat band and than they know that is who they guard. So clever, huh?
She got right in on the action and tried so hard. She took great shots and dribbled really well. At one point she had the ball and we all told her to shoot..so she grabbed the ball and ran around the court trying to find a good place to shoot it...she never dribbled the ball. It was so cute and funny to watch. Later, she was shooting around and made basket after basket and I told her she needs to take more shots in the game. She told me..I can't there are too many people around.
Way to go girls. I am so excited to watch the rest of the games and see how much you improve.
