This week, Nicholas started playing basketball on a rec team at our local community center. His interest in basketball is relatively new. However, like all of his interests, Nicholas has dived right into the game. He already has a fairly encyclopedic knowledge of the game and its star players. Therefore, it has been fun to watch Nicholas also become more interested in playing the game I loved growing up.
During Christmas vacation, we spent quite a bit of time playing at the court by my mom's house, and it was often two (Cate and Nicholas) against one (me). As you can guess, Cate already has mad skills, but Nicholas has also made significant progress in his technique.
At practice this week, we met Nicholas' new rec teammates, and they seems like a great group of kids. Nicholas was one of the more talented of the kids, and I cannot wait to see him play in his first game this weekend. His natural position appears to be a "stretch forward," and it is great to see him out there stretching himself forward!
Life is too short for just one sport, and here's to hoping that Nicholas can grow into both a player and fan of b-ball for years to come.
