Special Olympics Basketball

Lucas participates in Special Olympics through his school.  Last week was the Basketball Skills competition.

He enjoys hanging out with his classmates at the gym.

When it’s “Basketball Skills”, they don’t play an actual game.  But they DO have to shoot baskets, rotating positions and taking turns.  Here’s Lucas, getting into position (concentrate, concentrate…)

Getting ready for basketball.

He shoots!  He scores! Go Lucas!

He shoots, he scores!

Changing places and taking turns.

Taking turns.

Another basket for Lucas!

Second basket!

The Gold Medalist!

Way to go, Lucas!
