Better Each Week

Benji’s (13) starting to grasp the concept of basketball, and he’s improving every week in all areas of his game. Both boys are eager to please and willingly execute the drills in practice to develop their skills, but when the game’s frantic pace begins, like most of these first grade players they often forgotten what to do. Davey is currently playing with clueless joy. He loves the running and activity, but doesn’t yet grasp the game. Benji, on the other hand, is emerging as a leader; one who other players look to pass to and take charge. For the second straight game he scored a basket, had several steals, led fast breaks and played strong defense. He’s not a star yet, but Benji’s stock is clearly on the rise and I suspect Davey will soon follow.
