Well, the basketball season is unfortunately coming to a close. I have enjoyed coaching much more than I imagined. I have been blessed with great girls who I get along with, are funny, work hard (for the most part), and even though they like the Jonas Brothers I still love them. :-) Our last home games are tonight and our last games of the season are Friday night.
Last Saturday the varsity head coach canceled practice for his team. I, however, did not for my JV girls - simply because I like them and didn't want to cancel their last Saturday practice. So we had a fun practice... played knockout a couple times, line tag with everyone dribbling basketballs, etc.
I also made them a mix CD which I played while they had to shoot free throws for a good 40 minutes. We are awful at free throws, and it shows. Here were their percentages:
24/65 (37%)
37/65 (57%)
13/40 (32%)
10/40 (25%)
26/70 (37%)
28/65 (43%)
28/45 (62%)
13/45 (29%)
30/75 (40%)
29/65 (44%)
Only two of them got over 50%. I then had them go back and shoot 10 more, emphasizing the need for them to focus, fix whatever is wrong with their shot, and get at least 5/10. Only 4 succeeded.
You're killin' me, smalls!!!
