Sporty Mister

Our least competitive child just so happens to be our most active child.  He's gone from a very quiet boy who spent most of his time gaming, to still being a quiet boy who plays both basketball and soccer.

Basketball is a new sport for Mister, introduced to him by some school chums who encouraged him to join their team.  It's fair to say, Mister is the least experienced on the team, but he shows up for training and games every week and is improving all the time.  He's even scored a couple of baskets.  Unfortunately, his team have not won a single game all season.  A few times they've been close, but that has deterred Mister and it's wonderful to see the different kid he is when he's with his mates.  




Mister's soccer team are a terrific bunch of lads.  He plays in defence, usually on the left, sometimes in the centre.  He's not shy of the ball and has a solid kick on him.  If not for another round of COVID-19 lockdowns, his team were a chance for the semi-finals.  We wait to find out the decisions to finish the season.
