Lauren and Grace have participated in a lot of activities over the years, and the experience as a whole has been fun. When they received a brochure for basketball in kindergarten, we sort of put it off because introducing another activity into an already busy set of schedules seemed daunting. Last year when the brochures came home, we opted to spend the winter hibernating instead. This year, however, Grace really wanted to play so we finally signed them up. Lauren initially decided she wanted to cheer instead, but somehow Skip talked her into playing the game instead.
Still, I was in denial about spending our winter playing basketball. It would be fair to say I was prepared for basketball to not be my favorite... until I saw the team play.
Their infectious spirit and the quickness with which they learned and progressed each week really captured our - the audience's - attention. We looked forward to the games, and then we could barely watch the games because there was so much action and anticipation. These were real games we were watching, and our team, the Starzz (two z's, mind you), put up 30 points during the last two games, for the win.
The duo loved it, and Skip had fun coaching.
