I see a lot of dads playing sports with their sons in our neighborhood park, so when I saw a dad playing basketball with his young daughter, I was inspired and wanted to meet them.
Peter Banks plays on a team with friends. When Hazel started to ask him about the game, he bought a small ball and started taking her to Carroll park to do catching, passing, and shooting hoops. They are currently looking for a hoop that is a better (shorter) size for Hazel.
Peter shared "I've always played sports and I would like her to have the option to enjoy sports, too."
What does Hazel like about playing basketball? "It's fun!" And here's what she likes about being a girl: "You get to do a lot of things. It's cool. It's very nice!"
