Basketball is a different kind of game when you throw fourteen five year olds on a team. There's a range of understanding that starts at running back and forth on the court and chasing the other kids. That's pretty well where my girl is.
She knows to dribble when she has the ball and usually she knows which way to run. It's a fun game to watch.
During one of the first games Cari told our daughter to go get the ball. Our daughter ran to the side of the court and stood out of bounds while the teams continued to battle it out on the court. After the game we asked her what she was doing and she blamed Cari. "You told me to go get the ball." And there she stood waiting for the ball so she could pass it back in. That's usually what she did when she went to get the ball.
We explained to her that next time she needed to stay on the court.
