Matthew Plays Basketball

Matthew has been playing basketball for the 1st time this year. Matthew has different interests than his brothers and we are still exploring things to find his niche. Football and wrestling aren't his thing, running is too boring, and he really didn't like baseball last year. This year he decided to give basketball a try. He played on a Spanish Fork parks and rec team with other 4th graders from his school. They played other Spanish Fork teams.

Matthew had alot of fun. He also learned lots about ball handling and defense. He was one of the tallest kids, and so he had to guard the tallest kid on the other team. Matthew got to be pretty good on defense. For a non-aggressive kid, he really got in there to guard his man. He holds back a little on offense, but he did manage to score a few times this year. We were all pretty excited about that!

The team played their last game yesterday, and now Matthew is getting ready for spring soccer.
