Basketball Season

This was the second year that Johnny and Owen decided to play rec basketball. They do a draft of sorts, to try to keep teams from being too stacked, so it is sometimes the luck of the draw. (Not always though -- as we played some seriously stacked teams who had stayed together for multiple years.) Anyway, this year they were drafted on a team that had no coach.

So, at the final hour, two dads volunteered to coach. It was great that they stepped up to volunteer, but the whole season was a big mess. They didn't have good practice plans and often disagreed on the best approach. Other dads stepped in to help and that turned into an even bigger mess. In the end though, Johnny and Owen had fun, got to play basketball every week and learned some. I guess that is all you can expect from playing rec ball. 

Here are some highlights from the team that I affectionately called the Bad News Bears.
