We signed Carter up to play in the East Williamson Athletics league because they have practices and games at Carter's elementary school and two other elementary schools that are only a few minutes away. After signing him up, we got an email that Carter's division was severely lacking in coaches. So, of course, Brian volunteered. He's never played basketball on a team growing up but he knows how to coach this age group so I think he's going to do great. I played a lot growing up so hopefully I can provide a little help too (when I'm not wrangling Rylan and Grayson).
The team has practices on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Once games start, they will be on Saturdays and the team will continue to practice on Tuesday nights. Luckily the practices ended up being at Carter's elementary school so they are literally one minute from our house.
I stopped by practice on Tuesday for a few minutes and it looked liked Brian was doing a great job with the kids (they have 5 boys and 1 girl on the team). We know 2 of the boys on the team - one is Cade (our neighbor who has played soccer with Carter for 3 seasons) and the other is Fisher (another neighbor who was actually on Carter's soccer team the very first season he played and I coached).
I'm excited to see Carter play this winter. Hopefully we haven't over-committed ourselves with coaching and a newborn!
