glad they only play 5 minute quarters,[;)] it was 8-10 year olds and I doubt half the team could throw the ball high enough to even hit the rim. but I would take one of these games over those high priced pros anyday. ended up 28-6 and we lost, quite a bit of double dribble and walking wasn't called, but they had fun and it was fun to watch. other team had one little girl who couldn't have been 2 1/2 to 3 foot tall, but she would get in front of the taller ones and wave her arms and jump barely reaching their chest. she never gave up though....[:D]

    i've done that and the most frustrationg was a coach that did the same routine for three years..any opposing team could figure out how we played in one game....finally learned to just watch and keep my mouth shut.....some gals went like crazy

    It is fun to watch them when they play to have fun. Although, it sounds like one of my HS games, where the tallest player on our team was 5'11", and their starting guard was 6'2" and their center was 6'8". Good times.

    I coached my sons elementary basketball teams and my oldest was very short. He was my point guard. In the 4th or 5th grade, we were playing a team in a tournament and they had a boy that was probably over a foot taller than anyone else on either team. He handled the ball and was basically a one-player team.

    I told my son to get right on him and harass him as much as possible. We were getting smoked and I called a time-out. He came up to me in the huddle and said, "Dad, that guy has hair under his arm!!" So I guess he was guarding him as close as he could.

    Watching a bunch of cute kids play beats hell out of watching a bunch of rich guys playing a kids game.[:D]
