Here are some photos and videos from Marcus's game on Saturday. I got to switch with Andy to watch Marcus play. The kids liked playing, but the hardest thing for me was the stop and go action of the game. Marcus is definitely one of the better players on the team. He can dribble the ball (instead of running with it tucked in his arms), understands how to defend, and will try to move around to defend the other team's players that are open (more like a zone defense than a man to man). Of course, then the coach has to tell Marcus to only guard his man (they have to make it fair-it is the YMCA, and the kids are only 4-5 year olds). Enjoy!

"I'm open!" Marcus has the red wristband on. All the kids wear a colored wristband that matches them up with a kid on the other team to guard.
The following videos highlight the exciting game. At this point, Marcus is wearing a green wristband. You can see that he likes to guard just about anyone on the other team and he will go to where the action is if his guy isn't doing anything.
