Ashley decided she wanted to try and play basketball this year. A good friend of hers started playing which led to pick-up games after mutual every week. Ashley realized she enjoyed basketball and so wanted some "real" experience playing. I signed her up for a rec league and her friend, Kirstyn, signed-up to play on the same team too.
Having never played before, Ashley had some catching up to do especially with some of the super athletic girls on her team, but she was able to hold her own and did pretty well especially for someone who had never played before. Her team had a pretty big range of talent. Some girls didn't know how to handle the ball at all and others were doing a cross-over dribble.
Dave and I had a good time watching her play and we admire her for wanting to learn something new. Of course, our biggest concern was her finger. She broke it about 6 weeks before and unfortunately, she's reinjured it a couple times. She definitely has to keep it taped and a good long break from basketball might help!
