In the beginning of January Casey began his "career" in basketball through a program called Upward at our church. Upward basketball helps kids discover and build athletic skills, values, self-confidence and a love of the game!
Matt volunteers his time to coach Casey and 9 other boys. They have practice for one hour on Monday evenings and they play games on Saturdays.
It has been a very positive experience for Casey. Each practice and game he gets a little bit better and gains a bit more confidence.
After each game the coach gives out stars that the kids iron on to their uniform. The awards are for best offense, best defense, sportsmanship, effort, and being Christ like. This past weekend Casey earned the best defense award at his game. He did a great job staying on his guy and trying to get rebounds. He was super excited about this achievement.

Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry. -James 1:19b
