Hunter's got some skills

Hunter has been doing a little Basketball camp this week and last week. All the teachers really like him because he's serious and actually knows what he's talking about. I'm not by any means trying to be one of those parents that thinks their child is a sports prodigy, but considering his age, he does have some athleticism. So this video was from today. He is Green #4.

His "coach" told me that yesterday he was calling "offensive charge" on some of the boys and thought it was funny that he would even know the term. He also told me that Hunter is the only one in his age group that can correctly do a layup. So the only thing we need for him now is to GROW TALL!!! Yeah.....ok! Hunter also plays referee and calls all the traveling and fouls. It's really quite funny because the other boys are quite oblivious to the fact that they are running HOLDING a ball. Hunter just needs to work on his double dribbles. He doesn't bounce the ball with two hands, but he will stop and then dribble again. So it's been a fun two weeks. He's had a great time! Oh and since it's basketball camp, he can't wear "real clothes" as he puts it. He can only wear his basketball shorts and his basketball shirts and shoes.

They seem so little for basketball. I guess that's not true, because they are really doing it. Hunter is amazing!

I remember our mad basketball skills from our 3rd ward days. I'm pretty sure you should get all the credit for his athletic abilities :)
