She had another great game! She didn't get any baskets but she turned into an aggressive animal on defense. They put wrist bands on all the kids with matching colors from each team. That way they learn how to guard their one person and they don't all gang up on the one with the ball. But Maddy took that to heart and manhandled the little boy. I was actually a little bit embarassed! The boy that she was covering was pretty good with the ball but the defense has to wait behind the midcourt line until the guy with the ball crosses the line.
The boy finally got to the point that I don't think he wanted to cross the line because Maddy was in his face so much that he would just end up chucking the ball somewhere like, "FORGET IT!" Which is what is going on in the picture below.
At one point Dustin and I watched our sweet little girl's face contort into a determined animal! You could just see it in her eyes as you watched her that she was going to get that ball away. She ended up just grabbing the ball and stealing it from the boy dribbling! She would not give up until she got that ball away and she got it, which is the picture below.
Anyway it was pretty fun to watch and she loves it which is the most important thing!

I enjoyed the video! It is so cute how into it she is. She looks like she is having a good time and learning the game. My brother always just wanted to be like the NBA and would shoot from way back and never cared about "the rules" and how to drive the ball. Looks like she is well on her way. We are excited for her!
I think it is great that she is so aggressive in getting the ball. And I love the hopping/dancing moves. So cute.
I love my little cheerleading basketball playing grand-daughter! She is a cutie patutie!
Love Grandma,
Beth
