Joseph (that’s his name now, he has corrected us, he is not joe or Joe Joe) and Izzy are playing on the same team at the YMCA. This is year 3 for Izzy, Year 1 for Joe. We get one more year where they will be on the same team. I’m the coach. I love coaching them. It’s been awesome. I think I’m decent at it. All of our kids, while we aren’t the most talented, seem to be having fun and getting better. Izzy is really into it. One week she got mad because she wasn’t playing when the other team’s good players were supposed to go in (we rotate every 5 min), and she didn’t want to lose. She made 2 baskets the first game which shocked all of us, and is really good at defense. Joseph is by far the youngest, but he is getting better fast. His dribbling – he dribbles all the time at home now – and his defense are pretty good, especially since at the beginning of the year he couldn’t dribble at all. I hope they continue to have fun playing.
