Lady Mounties

Camden wanted to try basketball this fall.  Last night we started the Lady Mounties Youth Basketball League.  It is headed up by the Southmont HS girls basketball coach, along with the players.  The K-2 grade games will be 3-on-3 half court. Kids are from each of the 3 South elementary schools.

The focus of the league will be to teach introductory fundamentals and basic game concepts.  Score will not be kept!

They did lots of partner drills - dribbling, passing, and bounce passing were a lot of the time.
 

One man took over most of the instruction, but all the HS girls were fabulous about going down the line, giving pointers to the little ones, and keeping them focused.

They practice for an hour and the last 20 minutes were focused on shooting fundamentals and defensive positioning.

Camden did really well for 45 minutes, but was ready to be done at that point.  Various girls would come over and redirect and encourage her.  I LOVED IT!  It was exactly what she needs.
