With the end of April comes our final "Friday morning" basketball session for boys at Rutledge Hall. Since October we have had a great group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders my 7:15 morning basketball program. Fro the most part we have had a regular group of attendees, usually 32 ready and able players. The games were always hot and heavy, sportsmanship always evident, and leadership of the 5th grade players is a constant.

Got it!!!

If you go by the gym this time of year, you hear the sounds of a volleyball being bumped, served and set, and the sounds of childrens voices yelling..."I got it". which means that it is their ball to play.

WE are still working on fundamentals of passing and the relationship of front row and back row players.
