Introducing ... the Hoopsters!

This term Joshua joined a Scots College 'Mini-Ball' team coached by their Year 4 teacher, Greg Wright. Mini-Ball is an introductory game to full-on Basketball. It is mixed so the Scots boys get to play other teams in their grade from many schools around Wellington, both boys and girls. We felt it was a good idea to start playing some sport with his class mates.





Joshua has really loved mini-ball. With rugby this season, Joshua 'held' back and did not enjoy the tackling, but because mini-ball is all about getting the ball and then dribbling it down the court and no real body contact, he was really into it! It was refreshing to stand on the side-line and see him enthusiastic and happy about a team game.


Results-wise, it was a mixed season ... some wins, some losses - but at the end of the day Joshua had fun!
