Molly's Basketball Update

We were extremely proud of how the girls played this past Sunday for their first game. Although we lost the game, they played better than what we could've anticipated based on only having around 5 practices before the first game. During half-time, we challenged the girls to play better defense and which should result in a lower score for the opponents (first half score was 12 to 4). Our girls achieved our objective and basically played even with the other team during the second half with a score of 4 to 4. We had a lot of open great shots during the game but they just had difficulty getting the shot to drop through the basket. Most all of the time, the girls set-up correctly, they all hustled throughout the whole game, and although we lost, they never gave up.

This week we will continue to work on the basic sets and fundamentals of basketball. The schedule for this week is as follows. We have cancelled the practice on Saturday to give the girls a break and to avoid having the girls doing basketball activities for 6 straight days. See you tomorrow night!
