Elliot's new shirt says it all. This kid is obsessed with basketball. He watches it on TV (doesn't matter who's playing), collects basketball cards and shoots hoops in the front yard - rain or shine.
While we're on the subject of basketball . . . Elliot and Henry just finished a season of Jr. Jazz. I don't have a single good video of Henry because he literally would only keep the basketball for half a second every time it was passed to him. Not even enough time to press the record button on the camera.
But I have some good videos of Elliot:
Elliot's age group doesn't play positions, but he was basically the point guard. His teammates usually gave him the ball to take down the court. He definitely had the best ball handling skills on the team. By far. He's excited to go to a basketball camp this summer with his best friend.
Dylan came to one of Elliot's games
We're looking forward to when Elliot's in fifth grade and can play in a competitive league. Jr. Jazz is fun, but it's run by Sandy Parks & Recreation and uses volunteer coaches. Nathan coached Henry's team, but Elliot's coach had no clue what she was doing and rarely showed up on time (if she showed up at all). Nathan stepped in as coach a few times, which the other parents appreciated, and helped out on the scoreboard once too.
One more year of Jr. Jazz. Go Elliot!
