CPR Game

Saturday, after our normal Upward Basketball games, we had our annual CPR game. CPR stands for Coaches, Parents, Referees. Nik cleverly came up with that name after the first game, and after seeing how 'well' everyone was breathing!

Basically, what this game is - Is we invite any parent, coach or ref to play a basketball game after the last game of the day. It is fun for the kids to see everyone out there (and I think they enjoy 'coaching' their coaches from the sidelines, too!).

We had a pretty good turn out for the game. And we even had one player who played college ball not too long ago. He impressed all the kids (and everyone else) when he dunked the ball a couple of times during the game! Fun!

Below are team pics that I insisted on taking:

After being up at 5:30am - working Upward all day (Nik reffing and then playing) we were pooped when we got home at 6pm. We went out to dinner and then hit the sack! We only have 3 weeks left of Upward. The season has gone so well this year. It has been fun, we have made new friends and loved on the kids - but I think we will be glad when it comes to and end! We still have lots to do in these last three weeks, but it is truly a joy to be a part of this ministry!
