Basketball Practice

Carter is playing basketball this summer with the Flight League.  The league is put together by Brentwood Academy's boys varsity coach.  Coaches put together their own teams and find their own practice space and then play games at BA.  Suzy and I were talking about basketball camps this summer and how they overlapped with swim team so we decided to build a team for Flight who has games at night.  I ended up finding boys to play with Carter and Chase, volunteering Brian to coach (THANK YOU BRIAN!!!), and finding practice space at Franklin Fieldhouse.

The additional team members are Drew (who was played baseball with Carter since he started at Grassland with Chase and Carson), Fisher (who lives in our neighborhood, I coached on Carter's U4 soccer team, played on Carter's first basketball team, and now plays baseball with us), Cade (our neighbor who has played on our soccer and basketball teams before), and Carson (a playdate friend who has also played on Carter's soccer team off and on since I coached him).

Last night the boys had their first practice.  Chase came home with us from swim lessons and we also needed to give Fisher a ride so we took everyone to Sonic on the way to practice.

We were missing Cade (he's in Colorado this week) so Rylan subbed in so we had an even six at practice.  The rules are similar to what Carter has played with EWA and they play 3v3.

The boys did well for their first practice.  From what I've heard, Flight is very competitive.  It'll be interesting to see how these kids do!!!
