BJ makes the team

Anyone that knows BJ -- well, they know his passion is Basketball. The kid eats, sleeps & breathes basketball. Even when he's just standing in a room waiting, he's shooting hoops. He makes plays with an imaginary basketball and practices his cross-overs on his brother. Need I say more, the kid LOVES basketball.

We found out about a great basketball club in Seattle, Emerald City Basketball Academy, and found out they were doing tryouts for their spring / summer leagues. B went down for tryouts - only two days after being out completely sick - and made one of the teams.

He starts practice on Monday with this new organization. It should be an adventure as it's located in the Interbay area of Seattle. So now the kid shuttling & creative scheduling starts happening so we can get B to Seattle twice a week. As long as he works hard, has fun and improves as a basketball player, it makes it all worth it.

Check back after the beginning of April when his league starts, we'll post how he's doing!
