Winter Basketball

Harrison did basketball for the first time this winter.  He really enjoyed it, and his skills went from barely being able to dribble, to having a pretty good understanding of the game, rules and how to do some basic shooting, defending, and setting a pick.  It was pretty hilarious to watch at times.  The kids would really move in a herd sometimes, and there was a serious advantage if you happened to have hit an early growth spurt.  There were a few kids that would be like a foot taller than anyone on the court, and they would totally dominate the game.

I took some video of his last game. Harrison is number 3. You can turn down your volume - there's some background conversation going on. But this video really got Harrison at his best - first defense - blocking a shot, then offense, taking a shot (and missing) and then setting a pick.

He's looking forward to playing again next year.
