Skills, Drills and a Grill

This is the week that Dakota did the basketball camp at UNLV. He spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons learning and improving different basketball skills by running different drills. Dribbling, passing, shooting, offensive and defensive techniques and so on. Then they ended each day by playing 3 separate games since they were divided into 4 teams. The coach for his team was Steve "Chop" Jones and he was very animated and positive with the kids. I thought it was a great thing that they also focused on attitude and being a team player. Dakota had so much fun that he wants to do it again next year. He also made me promise that we would get a basketball hoop by the time school starts. So basketball was Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday was the day he got his braces on. Yay!!! He is very happy to have them on although he is now experiencing the "ow" part of it. He only has them on the top teeth right now but they are hurting a little. Thank goodness for Tylenol. Here are some pics (some are a little blurry however) of basketball camp and Dakota's grill. :)
