Joslyn and The Miami Heat

This winter season Joslyn and a few of her friends were brave enough to play basketball, a sport they had never played before. When the basketball season first started back in November Joslyn and her friends were some what excited. Joslyn and her 3 friends were sure they would all be on the same team together. When the list of teams and players were posted on the gym wall all 4 girls were devastated. Joslyn and her friends were on 4 different teams. They all waned to quit basketball right then and there. However each mother was able to convince our daughters to stick it out and finish the season. Joslyn grew to really enjoy basketball. Practices were every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30-6pm. I was able to drop Joslyn and her friends off at practice and another parent would drop her off at home. Games were on Saturdays. She learned a lot about the sport, improved her game, and was not ready for the basketball season to come to an end. I'm proud of Joslyn and her dedication (she always made sure I was ready to leave our house at 4:15 for fear of having to run extra laps if she was late to practice)and her strong desire to be better at basketball. Joslyn's team, The Miami Heat finished the season 8-1!! They went to the playoffs and lost the 2nd game.
Saturday the team had a pizza party at the bowling alley. Joslyn's coach, Coach Jackson gave each player a medal and trophy!
