Mitchell participated in AAU for the first time this fall. We were hesitant because AAU can be a voracious time-sucking monster that absorbs all weekends and requires travel and expense. However, we were pleasantly surprised to enjoy this short season and appreciated the experience.
Mitch's team was made of seven 4th grade boys coached by Rod Fronsman and Brandon Burns. They made great progress over the 4 Saturdays, coming away with a 4-4 record. More importantly, Mitch seemed to love it! He improved his defense...
and got better at rebounding. He was one of the taller kids on the team so he had lots of chances.
His dribbling and ball handling is getting better and he did a nice job of working with his teammates. He is the king of the bounce pass!
On offense, he was frequently at the top of the key ready to get a pass.
And it was always fun to watch him take a shot. His lay-ins improved and his shot is getting stronger.
The coaches were so good with these boys and we're grateful for people who volunteer their time and talent.
Of course the family came out to support him! Mitch had grandparents at every game. And Great Grama Sally got to watch him play twice! Kim, Chad and Jack even watched a game.
Shannon shared her birthday celebration with some gym time.
Our ball playing boy can't doubt he's supported!
