In my kid’s school the children are normally unable to try out for any sports teams until grade 4.  They sometimes do make exceptions for children who show promise and determination.  Well I got a phone call from my sons school (he’s in grade 3) concerning this matter.  Since Daniel started school he has been just waiting until the day he can try out for the basketball team.  The teacher’s have seen him shooting hoops and playing this game at every chance he gets.  So they are making him the exception this year and letting him try out.

I think he will probably make the team as the gym teacher wouldn’t get his hopes up otherwise.  The teacher did warn me that Daniel may not get to play a lot in games, but he will be able to attend every practice and get some extra learning in.  Just to be on the team would make Daniels day and he is now anxiously awaiting for the day he gets to show his stuff out on the courts.  I couldn’t be any more pleased for him.
