Basketball with Brendan

Today we had the first of three special basketball lessons with Brendan. There will be follow up sessions on the next two Tuesday afternoons.
Today we practiced controlling the ball. We threw it up and tried to catch it, tried our hand at dribbling and even got some initial shooting practice. We finished the session with a game which was lots of fun. Roll on next Tuesday!
