2016 Febuary_Basketball and kids

Basketball is over and now we are onto soccer. I calculated the other day that I have coached or assisted in over 47 different teams for hadden and spencer to date. I enjoy it but am glad to have a little break while coaching Hadden's soccer team and spencer is playing academy soccer. Nash continues to enjoy his new preschool which is the same school that spencer went too. He knows all his letters and almost all his sounds in just over 1 month at the school - plus he love it - it has been a good move. Hadden rec team lost in the championship by 4 points (the other team had 2 6 footers - just saying) and had a great season. Spencer's team lost in the final 4 but it was not really and upset - both had great season and enjoy basketball. Last night Hadden's school team had their banquet. But instead of a dress up / stuffy occasion this was pizza and then a 3 point contest, skills contest, shooting contest, and then parents vs kids game. Hadden and Spencer Won the skills contest over all the parents and the 6th -8th grade team. It was a good night for the Meyer kids. Let me describe the skills contest. 1. Dribble through cones to the opposite side 2. Throw the basketball 25 feet or so to the wall and hit the middle of a hoopla hoop. 3. Dribble back down and hit a 3 pointer (you had 6 shots - this is where I was eliminated) 4. Run to the baseline to get a ball - dribble to half court and then come back and make a layup. Hadden and spencer had no mistakes and both hit their first 3 pointers - hadden completed this in 24 seconds - Spencer in 26 seconds as he beat me at the same time - their were 2 participants going at once. Carrie and I continue to exercise in our spare time (not much), teach 2nd grade at church, and try to go on lunch on Friday's with each other while the kids are at school.
