Abbie BB

This post makes me feel like the worst mother in the whole wide world.  I have no pictures to post of Abbie's entire 2nd grade BB season.  In my opinion, it was the best season she has ever had.  She had a great coach, Jeremy, and a great assistant coach, me!  I would like to say I was so busy coaching that that is why I didn't take pictures, but that isn't the case.  My contribution to coaching was keeping track of who played which quarter and so who should come out and rest and who should go in and play.  Occasionally during practice I would help play defense on a drill, but really the coaching was all Jeremy.  I am not sure he is ready to coach another group of 7 year-old girls anytime soon, but he sure did a great job.  He really worked a lot on fundamental drills and it was great to see the girls improve over the season.

There was a lot of other reasons why Abbie's season was so fun.  She played with a fun team of girls and a supportive group of parents.  In addition, Abbie started playing phenomenal defense.  She was running around the court guarding girls working her tail off.  It made it so fun to watch.  All of the girls improved so much over the season and even those that were already great players got better.  Jeremy didn't teach screens or run plays, but the girls still did great! 

I will do a much better job in the future capturing moments of Abbie's amazing defensive maneuvers!

Gymnastics Meet

The year of 2013 started off with Abbie participating in gymnastics at her first "competitive meet".  The gymnastics academy hosted the Root Beer Cup and showed some of the girls what competitive gymnastics looks like.  Abbie loved it!  She thought each event was so fun, although she liked bars the best.  It was really fun to watch her compete at each event and it was so packed with people with events going on all over that it seemed like a real competitive event.
