Basketball 2019

Wynn got to play on a basketball team with a lot of his classmates this year which was super fun for him. In fact, the coach was the dad of a boy in his class who he hasn't always gotten along with really well this year, so I was really worried at first. However, it helped them get to know each other better and they became good friends by the end. Now they are good buds and even play together outside of school. It was really a blessing for Wynn because he got to see how getting to know someone can change your opinion of them and help you find friendships you wouldn't ordinarily have found.

Another challenge he got to face this basketball season was the the only day his coach could set up practice was on Sunday afternoons. We had a talk about how we don't do sports on the Sabbath Day and asked him what he thought a solution might be. He mentioned maybe practicing with a different team. I reached out to the parks and recreation department and explained the situation and they reached out to the other coaches. It turned out that there was a team willing to let him practice with them on Fridays even if he wasn't on their team. We were so grateful that that worked out for Wynn and allowed him to keep playing basketball and keep the sabbath holy. I'm glad he got to have that learning experience and grateful for the coach who was willing to work with someone not on their team.
