Kindergarten basketball clinic

 On Nov. 14, I organized a girls' basketball clinic for kindergarteners with two first-graders joining us. It was a rare Sunday where both our NFL teams were on the road, so Josh also was able to attend. I couldn't believe this came together, as I had met a local youth coach with Alameda Youth Basketball (Steph in the black sweatshirt below) and she offered to do this at the Boys & Girls Club. I recruited 18 girls from around Alameda - various schools, former preschool pals, new classmates in both kindergartens at Emma's school - and they're all now begging for the next time they get to play. It was an absolute blast and the girls hustled and did defensive slides and loose ball drills - like this one with Emma and Evie above - for a full hour!


Check out the intensity of Violet and Ivy going for the ball!
