Marie is finishing her first mini-season of basketball through the YMCA in town.
She was not sure if she was interested or not but decided to give it a try.
Andy decided to coach and was assisted by Papa.
After her first practice, she seemed a little defeated. Dribbling was hard, shooting was hard, there was only one other girl on the team, and she got hit on the head by a ball.
After a few pep talks she was ready for her first game.
The game was anything but organized, but after several tries she made a basket, she passed the ball, and even (double) dribbled the ball. When the game was over, she cried she was so happy she had fun and so sad that the game was over!
It's been 6 weeks of hustle and so much learning. Marie really showed us how determined she can be and it was such a surprise to see how driven she was to become a better player.
Great job Marie! We are so proud of you!
