Girls Basketball

The girls basketball season is typically in the fall.  Although Brian was not here to coach the girls during their regular season, he had the opportunity to hold practices for the team in the spring in preparation for some games against the nearby university (future post about the game!).  The girls themselves were very excited to have practices again.  Like I mentioned before, the girls in this society do not have many opportunities to play sports so when something like this is offered the response is usually overwhelming. 

Practices were held at the same location as the boys practices.  Although the weather was getting hotter, BJ and I attended more girls' practices than we did the boys!  BJ felt more comfortable around the girls and I don't know if it is because we went so often or that the girls just loved him to pieces and lit up when they saw him coming :)  It's always nice to be loved!

There was a female teacher who would come to help with practice.

Brian made the girls practice hard.  Despite the heat, there were very few complaints.

All of the girls worked very hard. 

When the girls had to run, BJ was always clapping and cheering them on.  Sometimes you just need a little encouragement...
