Lebron???

Travis and Allias are coaching a boys 10U basketball team this year. I was gone one night and Kailyn had to go to practice with them. The 10U girls team was practicing at the same time and she ended up practicing with them for fun. They ended up inviting her to be on the team.....
She had never really played basketball and is scared of flying objects so I was pretty surprised that she wanted to play.
Her coaches have been great, taking her aside and working one on one with her and giving her lots of encouragement. They really enjoy her quirky personality and call her their super star. She has been trying really hard and having a lot of fun. She actually plays pretty aggressive defense and has had at least two or three steals per game. She is also really good comic relief for her little team.
The other night during a time out she told her team they just needed to go out and play like Lebron James. As she walked out onto the court she threw her arms in the air and yelled "The king is in the building!" Then as they were playing she did a few leaping skips across the court. I am pretty sure that if she had seen someone eating fries she would have taken a couple. (if you saw clips from the Cavaliers vs Bulls game you will understand). The coaches and all the parents were cracking up.
Allias and Tyler have been super supportive. Allias even makes signs and brings them to the game. One sign said "#34 The Queen".
It has been a lot of fun watching her. Tyler and Allias are both playing on a church league basketball team but I haven't been able to watch a game yet. Hopefully I will be at the next one!
