A new sport




Coleton is very athletic, he takes after his father. He can pretty much try any sport and pick it up with ease.

He has always showed an interest in Basketball. With baseball and dirtbike riding we never gave it much thought. So other than playing basketball at school or in front of the house that pretty much summed it up for him.

Zack listened to Coles interest and signed him up, without even telling him. Well we shall find out if he likes it.

Cole was a little shocked at first, had a few insecurities about it. Mostly because its always just been a fun leisurely activity for him. Now he was on a team, a team that already started practicing and a team that already played one game. A team that he had to show up on Saturday ready to play, no practice, no instruction, just game on!

He did amazing. He hustled, he played hard, he listened, he observed and he loved it! No more insecurities, just a tired, red faced little boy after practice and after his game.

So Cole is playing basketball. He plays for the "Nuggets", practices every Tuesday night and plays every Saturday. Its a short season with only about 8 games left. Simple and fun for him.

Good call Dad!
