Dribble, Shoot, Score!!!

Emma has always watched her big sister Heidi play all kinds of sports and has wanted to play also. The problem is that Emma also likes to sing and dance like her big sister Meagan. We don't want her too involved and that has made it hard to see which things Emma really wants to do. We finally decided to give in and let her try out basketball this year. She LOVES it. She can hardly wait until she can play again in the fall. She made huge improvement during the season. She could hardly dribble basketball when she started and ended up being one of the point guards for her team. Even though her team only won 1 game she still had a blast. Here are a few pictures from some of her games this season. Her team was called the Firecrackers!!

Here she got a fast break and was trying to get down to her basket. Sometimes she couldn't control the ball while she was running so fast.

Here she is point guard and calling out the play that was #1. You can tell that she was getting better control when she was dribbling as the season went on.

In this picture you can't really see her because she had just got the rebound and is behind the other girls.

Here she is trying to get around and the other team and not let the ball go out of bounds.

Overall, Emma was fast and wanted to play the entire game. She never wanted to take a rest and she scored a few points for her team. Way to go EMMA!!!!! I am anxious to see her continue on with this sport and see how well she will do.
