My absence on blogging only represents that we have been doing the same old routine for the past couple of weeks.......until yesterday!! Potter's basketball program started yesterday afternoon at Highland Park rec center. He could hardly wait to get there and had an extremely busy, fun packed hour of instruction and practice! The first two weeks (sadly, he'll miss next week when we are in Maine) are practicing basic skills like dribbling, layups, shooting, guarding, etc....then they will have games against other teams each week. Potter enjoys his coach who is a good motivator, includes all the kids and gives specific feedback to the kids as they practice. As a parent, I appreciate that! Potter had a lot of self-confidence as he played and left feeling, rightfully so, as if he had done very well. Since we don't have basketball hoop at home for him to practice in between weeks, I did purchase a basketball for him to use to practice dribbling and passing, and he can practice shooting against the cement wall of the house. I don't want him to lose any momentum!!! Oh, and ps., they decided yesterday that their team would be called (for now) the alligators (gators). Granny would love that!!
