Sports Class

We signed Amelia up for a sports camp - just 5 consecutive mornings for an hour - where they would learn basic skills of soccer and basketball.

Here are some pictures from day 1...

Listening to the coach - before they split the kids into the 2 camps (3/4yr olds and older kids). Amelia's the little one in pink in the back:


Some running around - warming up:


Time for some basketball:




Instruction from the coach:


Her first attempt at a basket.... the angle of the picture looks like it went in (but it didn't...)


We realized that Amelia is more meant for a botany class than a sports class -- she's just really into flowers and other plant life and gets easily distracted!


But she listened to the coaches (for the most part) and did pretty well at trying everything.



Day 2 - working on her soccer skills:


Day 3 - She was so proud of her outfit for "Wacky Wednesday"!


We didn't take any other pictures, but the rest of the week improved in terms of Amelia staying involved.

The main issue we noted is that they only brought ONE pink soccer ball, and there were about 6 little girls in the class all competing for it. They were so focused on getting that darn pink ball, often they would pout and not participate. Oh well!

Amelia is now the proud owner of a pink soccer ball, thanks to Daddy's shopping efforts. :)

I think she had a good time!
