Off the Diamond and on to the Court [2011 PAL Varsity Comp Basketball]

With baseball wrapping up for the year on Saturday, Jack went to try-outs for the SEAS PAL Varsity Comp Basketball team. There were 9 boys: 3 eighth graders [Kellen, Jack and Zack] and 6 seventh graders [Jack, Joe, Jake, Malcolm, Craig and Anthony]. The coaches indicated that 15 boys signed up for the team.

There has been some discussion that there would be two teams: a varsity rec and a varsity comp team. They told the boys last night that there will be only one team. With 15 boys, it is going to be interesting to see how this works out. Kevin told the boys that they are going to have to work hard in practice to fight for playing time.

The coaches ran the boys hard. In the car on the way home, Jack turned to me and said "I am out of shape."
