Gunnar and Hans both have started playing basketball this winter in the St. Cloud Youth Basketball program. What fun it has been! For Hans, his team has 30 minutes of instruction followed by 30 minutes of scrimmaging. Very interesting basketball is played during the scrimmage - I liken it to a Rugby match in a gymnasium. For Gunnar, his team has 40 minutes of instruction followed by a 4o minute scrimmage. It is incredible to see the improvement in skills from the 1-2nd grade group to the 3-4th grade group. Also, a lot of fun to watch. Fortunately, they don't call any double dribble, fouls, etc. but rather, just let the boys play basketball. Both Gunnar and Hans are learning a lot and having a BALL in the process.
