Kansas City, Kansas City, Here we Come!

Here we are in Kansas City, MO playing in our 3rd tournament of the year. We played our only two games of the day before noon, so we have a little while to just hang out and relax. A lot of parents wanted to finish up some Christmas shopping while some of the players came back to the hotel to swim.

We played very well during our two games this morning. It's great to see how some of the players are starting to pick up on some of the things that we are asking of them. We are doing a great job of looking for teammates up the floor. We do like to run. Sometimes to a fault. We generate a lot of turnovers for ourselves. It'll come together before the year is over with. We won our two games today pretty handily and it's nice to see how we compare with teams in our own age division. Tomorrow however, we will be playing a 5th grade team in the championships so it'll be interesting to see how we are able to handle the challenge.
Now it's off to enjoy the rest of the day. We are all meeting as a team and going somewhere to eat later this evening. I hope the boys are enjoying the experience of not just playing games in a bigger city, but also being able to hang out and get to know each other a little better. We've got a looooong road and a few years ahead of us.
