Pee Wee Hoops

We recently started PeeWee Hoops. I say we even though it is really Eli's age group, but Tatum not wanting to be left out joins in every week! Eli and Tatum both enjoy running around and learning the basics of the game. An added bonus is our friend and neighbor Christie is on the "team" too. Of course her little brother, baby Tyler comes along which makes Tatum happy.

They are learning the basics of basketball, such as stretching, passing, dribbling and shooting baskets.




Eli is getting warmed up for practice (brown shirt).




Tatum is getting ready too (purple shirt).




Here they are getting in line to run sprints. Eli LOVES this part because he wants to come in first. He comes in first just about every time. He is a good runner! Tatum will run the sprints too. She is not bad either. She doesn't finish first, but she doesn't finish last either. That is pretty good considering she is running with 3 and 4 year olds.



Eli is working on shooting baskets. This station usually entertains him for a while as long as he is able to make his first shot. If he misses a few he gets discouraged and doesn't want to do that anymore.

It's always fun for the kids to participate and fun for us to watch. Next Eli wants to take swim lessons, we were going to look into soccer again. Maybe we will do both, since he talks about swimming a lot. Stay tuned.
