Alyssa's B-Ball Season

Alyssa had a good basketball season this year. There are 2 different basketball leagues that kids her age play in around here. One is a little more competitive. She started tryouts for that league, but after the first day she decided that all of the girls were better than her so we decided to switch over to the other league. We thought it would be better for her to be one of the better players on her team than to be one of the worse. When her team started off the season losing game after game after game, we thought we had made a mistake. However, once they won their first game, they went undefeated until the final tournament. She isn't the top scorer, but she is very good at defense. 

Here is her team and coach after their last regular season game. She didn't know any of these girls before the season started, but was able to make some good friends on the team after playing together.

Hopefully with our basketball court in she can get out there more this summer and improve her shooting and dribbling.
