so as I'm sure most of you know, this year sister ray and kah decided its about time our girls had the opportunity to play some basketball in a fun and relaxed setting and decided to see if we could get enough girls to start a ward church team since my dad started a guys team when trey was a freshman.
trust me, we had more than enough girls interested!!! we had i think it was 22 or 23 girls commit to playing, but the stake wasn't quite ready tot take the step to have stake sports. so, our leaders entered us in a local Methodist league.
so far the team has been SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! its amazing how all the girls bond while were playing ball, girls who outside of practice wouldn't talk to each other too much, not because they don't like each other or anything but just cause of age difference or whatever have become friends and it is an absolute blast and a blessing for everyone involved!
i am on a team with about 10 or 11 others girls, coached by my mom and sister Kah.to be honest, both of our teams..... stink. but we sure have fun doing it! in the exhibition games to place our teams in the upper or lower skill division, it was clear where we belong, but i have not had more fun with virtually all of our young women in a long time, there was a big sense of camaraderie!
I LOVE CHURCH SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allie, I am so glad that the basketball is going so well and that you are having so much fun! Go team. I mean go "teams." (make that plural) I'll get a schedule from your Mom so we can come watch.
ReplyDeleteI used to love church sports, too, when I was your age. Good times!!
That sounds like so much fun! Go girls! I definitely want to come to a game sometime. We're trying to get stake sports or something similar going, I promise. :)
