For 3rd graders this year at Norris they offered girls bball but it was 2 practices a week and out of town tournaments. Emmy wasn't sure she was that in to playing basketball, but Robb was able to convince her to play 3 on 3 like she did last year. She was a bit reluctant at first (Emmy is a home body and anytime she is signed up for it she has regrets that she doesn't get to stay home) but the commitment was low with 1 practice a week and 6 weeks of games. She ended up loving basketball! This little team was fun to watch. It went from Robb having to remind them to take it to the top each new possession to our girls getting a few fouls for trying to get the ball away from the other team by reaching. As the other parents often said, "Emmy is scrappy'. She isn't afraid to get in there and once she is after something you can see her concentration on getting that ball. She has Bryce's ball handling skills and Caleb's scrappiness. We may have a pretty awesome ball player on our hands. After this season was over, they all enjoyed it so much that they signed up for regular basketball. It will be fun to see how they improve as the season goes on. Bryce and Bree even came to the last game to support her. She thought that was pretty cool!

This is the last year that they get the lowered hoops. Next year will be a learning curve with regular height hoops!
Robb always lets them pick their team's name. This year they decided they wanted to be the Black Labs. Needless to say, it was a little embarrassing yelling go black labs, so Robb convinced them to change it to puppies. Still odd but at least not as bad!
