Actually, she is tall for her age, 95%-ile. That's not totally why we're doing this though. This is just an introduction to basketball, basic ball handling, maybe 'passing' to another kid. It's not likely going to be very organized. They are 4, not 14 .

#1-Maybe B-Ball is in her future, maybe not. Grandma played B-ball, so we thought it would be fun for Kid to share that with her. (I stink, totally. Not only am I short, I have NO talent at B-ball. None. Nada. Zilch.)
#2- Organized sports are typically good for a person's self esteem (dependant on the parents of course)
#3- Her daycare is not in her school district. We are hoping to meet some parents that are in ours, and have the Kid meet some kids she might actually go to school with.
#4- It's winter, in Iowa. The high temps for this weekend are supposed to be 0 F Kid needs to burn off energy somehow, since we can't get outside.
#5- Its way cheaper than dance or gymnastics
