I can't believe I did it. I yelled and screamed like one of those crazy parents that I had always laughed at during Heidi's first Little Dribbler's basketball scrimmage today. I was even trying to coach her from the bleachers! Oh it was so hard to sit there and watch. It may be my competative nature...or maybe my maternal instinct to keep my daughter from experiencing the feeling of defeat. Whatever it was, I got excited. I have to say that my other half did also. Bless his heart, it's just so hard for Tim to sit there and watch any sport if it's not being performed to the peak potential.
Heidi put forth a lot of effort and energy during her first game. She figured out how to guard "one-on-one" and stuck to her man very well. But occasionally she would get hit in the back with the ball because she was paying more attention to her man than where the basketball was. Heidi is not a selfish player and had some good passes, but unfortunately her team was unable to score. The other team scored twice. But I have to say that Heidi's team was composed mostly of girls and the other team had some pretty good boys on it.
Of course, I forgot the camera. Must have had something to do with trying to get all six of us out the door to get her there on time. There is another game next week. We'll see if the parents can handle themselves any better because I'm sure Heidi will do great!
