Upward Basketball Luke 11:12

Yup, I did say Luke 11:12.

Jesus said to them, When you pray, say: "Father, we paray that your name will always be kept holy. We pray that your kingdom will come."

Zachary started the local Upward Basketball program last Wednesday. Zack has done two seasons of baseball and soccer and this is something new for him. I have to say I like the organization of it and the church is where they have the practice and the games is aboslutely cavernous.

A few weeks ago they had the evaluation for the program where they graded each of the players on four different basketball functions. All the scores are uploaded into a program and each team is given a couple players in each developement level. At game time each player will have a colored wristband and plays against a player on the opposing team with the same colored wristband or skill level.

They are given a little card with a verse on it for them to memorize prior to the next week. If they memorize it for the next practice or game the following week they get an iron on star to go on their basketball jersey.

We havve one more practice on Wednesday and then his first game is Saturday. They also have blow up tunnels to come out of for the games and there are lights and strobes....should be pretty interesting site to see when he has his games.
