ok, so wednesday, our 11-year old announced plans to try out for middle school girl's basketball.......asserting that playing basketball was her dream.......quite s surprise for us, to whom she has never shared this dream, nor demonstrated any interest in it by, say, agreeing to sign up for rec league basketball during grades 1-5......................and so she tried out after chool on thursday and friday......and somehow made the team despite no knowledge of the game other than it requires shooting a round ball................we have a basketball hoop, and she did alot 12-13 minutes of her valuable time shooting baskets before she left for school thursday and friday morning............hardly a commitment to skill development................so....the only thing worse than not making a team.....is making the team....practice every day after school....and the first game next friday evening.............we have no idea how the team is split up.....6th separate from 7/8 is my best guess...............we shall now see if she actually plays, or if she sits the bench.........
