Max started BASKETBALL!!!

This is Max's FIRST year that he was old enough to play BASKETBALL!! And let me tell you he has been ready for some time now! We signed him up to play with Hope Pres. It is a PreK teams so 4 and 5 yr olds and the team has paired up with the Memphis Grizzlies this year so the kids are actually Junior Grizzlies!! They all get a ticket to one of the Grizzlies games for free and get tailored Memphis Grizzlies uniforms!! So fun!!
Max had his first practice Sunday Nov. 11th!! I am sleeping during his practice since I work Sat nights so Craig tries to take a few pictures while they are there. 
First practice went great according to Craig and Max. 
Max got out and there and was all about it!! Craig said the coach Scott (guy in the black shirt) he is the head coach over all the teams, He told Craig that Max had some great talent!! Proud parent moment ;)
Max's second practice was Nov. 18th!! Another great one!!  Oh I forgot to mention that Max's cousin Sam is on his team too!! Max was pumped when he found out!!
Blurry picture...but I love that little smile!! This boy lights up when he is playing some hoops!

Craig said at this practice coach Scott was teaching the kids about tip offs and how to start off the game. He asked Max and Sam to be his volunteers to show the other kids how it works! 
Max came home super excited to tell me all about his second basketball practice!! He counts down the days until the next one!!
So excited for him!! And look forward to seeing him play come Jan!!
