Nate' First Basketball Practice

Nate & Jimmy are on the same basketball team.  It's a non competitive league to see how much they like it.  So far, after 1 practice it's still going good.  Clearly they need some work, but I suspect they'll be much improved by the end of the season.  They got 10 weeks of practice and games so lot's of times to work on fundamentals.

Nate has the most important piece of equipment, the ball/

Nate and Jimmy getting warmed up.  Nate moved to the center of the ring with the coach to lead the team in stretching.

They divided the group into 3 stations for practice, here's Jimmy trying to dribble.

Nate trying to shoot.  He struggles with whether to shoot granny style or overhand.  Needs to hit the gym and build those arm muscles.
 The coach wanted them to do some line drills to help burnout some of that energy this group has.

Granny shot!
 Did we get a point for hitting the rim?
