Upward Basketball 2011

Both of my older kiddos played Upward Basketball thru our church this year. Annaleigh's team was the Suns, and Alden's was the Jazz. Jason also was involved this year in that he coached Alden's team.

The whole team...

Coach Daddy and Alden...

Daddy "coaching him up"....

"What did he just say?"

Getting the ball for the first time...and dribbling it well!



Talking serious strategy on the bench...

Guarding "his man"...

Getting his hands on the ball again!

Who to pass it to now???

Mind you, all of the kids are yelling, "Alden, I'm OPEN!"

Running with the ball...

Luckily they don't call much on the U5 division...

Dribble Alden, DRIBBLE!! 

He eventually gets it!

Annaleigh running thru the tunnel. Let's be honest, she's less than thrilled about all this attention.

Mutt and Jeff...

Best Friends....Annaleigh and Darby...

That's Annaleigh in that pile somewhere passing the ball...

Taking her first shot!!!

That's some great form!

You should have heard all of those balls bouncing at the same time!
