Brookie's Basketball

In January, Brooke started basketball (one of her birthday presents from October). At her age, the city puts on mini-clinics every week and then the last 10-15 mins are scrimmages. Brooke is best at defense - she loves to steal the ball. She goes after it even if her own teammate has the ball. If play ever gets stopped for a jump ball or if there is a pile of girls on the floor, Brooke is also in the middle of it all with her hands on the ball. Shooting and dribbling are improving. She's left handed, but keeps practicing with both her left and right hands for shooting and dribbling (which means she's not as good as she should be if she'd pick a hand and stick with it).

Here are some action shots of Brooke:
