Basketball

Naomi also took basketball again this year.  It is so similar to soccer!  Last year she had a hard time and didn't want to go to practice.  I had already decided I wouldn't sign her up again, but then when it came time to register for classes, she begged to do basketball.  I grudgingly signed her up and hoped for the best.  Amazing, that's all I can say.  She can dribble, she can score baskets, and she can pass the ball.  Apparently between age 4 and 5 kids can really improve their coordination.
Her coach even asked her to move up to Kourt Kids 2 the next time she takes a class, only one other kids was invited to move up, so proud of her!
By the way, does that coach look familiar to you?  The same man (Coach Ray) does all the sports for Rio Rancho parks and rec.  Soccer, basketball, t-ball, flag football, tennis, and more!  He's a great guy!

Soccer

Naomi took soccer again this summer.  It was amazing how much she improved over a years time.  Last year she was timid, confused, and clumsy.  This year she was confident and a real team leader!  She went after the ball, scored goals, and helped the younger kids when they would get confused.  I think her coach was really impressed with her too.

I have some awesome videos of her, but of course am having problems uploading them to blogger...hopefully that will work out soon.
