Learning More About Netball

As it was our first netball lesson we had to go to our coach. Our coaches name was Donna. First we had to get warmed up. To warm up we had to make our way to the fence.  We had to do it five times. The first time we had to just jog. The second time we had to skip our way there and back. Once everyone finished skipping their way to the fence and back we did sidestepping. The fourth warm up exercise was bum kick run and lastly the back and forth. Once we finished our warm up exercises we moved on to a challenge game. The challenge game was a mix of netball passing a dodge ball but you could only try to get their ankle.

Before we could play our challenge game we had to get into pairs. Once we all had got into pairs we had to get a ball. Donna told us all the things we needed to know to play the game and once everyone understood we were playing. We had to keep passing the ball to each other until our coach will blow the whistle or say FIRE. Once she said FIRE we had to try get our partners ankle. Sooner or later we had started to playing another game.

The next game we played was to practice shooting and also learning all the different passes you could do in netball. The equipment we used to play it were just a hoola hoop and a netball ball. Like the other games first we needed to get into three groups and learn how to play.  One person had to hold the hoola hoop in three different positions. The first positions they had to hold it was near the ground. The second one was holding it at the side of their  chest and lastly was above their heads. To get the ball one person had to be behind the person who was holding the hoola hoop. The rest of the team was trying to shoot the ball through the hoop.

The last two games were my favourite ones of all. My best game was when we had two balls and we had to get into a big circle and we could throw it to anyone. Most of the time I had two balls coming my way but it was fun.
