Well I have officially had my first experience of watching my daughter in a basketball tournament. I am sure it will be the first of many I will have the opportunity to watch. The Chambers basketball players put on a weekend tournament for grades 1-12. The teams are co-ed and broke down by grades. Jenae's team is made up of 1st-3rd graders. It was so fun to watch, especially the little 1st graders who you could tell it was there first game to ever play in. I laughed so hard that I was crying. Kyle has been really working hard with Jenae on shooting and she has really come a long way since he started working with her on it. The game however was a whole different experience for her and the other little 1st graders. They really had no idea where they were supposed to be standing or what they should be doing. Jenae's team lost so she will play again tonight at 4:30. Depending if they win or not they will play either at noon or 4:30 tomorrow. If they win tonight & tomorrow they will play again on Sunday. If they do not win both of the games they will be done tomorrow.
Jenae was so cute and excited about the game. She LOVED the entire experience and it did not seem to bother her that her team lost or that she did not actually get a chance to even touch the ball during the game. What made her really happy was that her coaches gave the kids treats after the game. They could choose between a popsicle or a cupcake. After the game all she could talk about is how excited she is to get to play in the next game so she can have another treat. She had a cupcake last night after the game and had already decided that she was going to go for a popsicle tonight.
It should be a fun weekend :-)
