Netball Skills

Last week in netball was alright even though I did stub my toe and I wasn't able to play. But this week I jumped right into the game. We were on the court waiting to meet Liz so she could teach us more skills.

The first drill was easy. The attacker had to side step 3 times when Liz called field or room, and then run while the defender acts like a mirror and follows her every step. My partner was Brooklyn and she was the attacker. Brooklyn and I were getting mixed up. The whistle  blew and we had to run back to the yellow line. We did the activity 3 times and moved on.

Our next skill was a defending drill. When the opposite pair threw the ball at your partner, you had to hit it down and catch it. Huelo-Ata and Junior were throwing the ball to us. First try and I hit it down but didn’t catch it and it nearly hit my face! This went on until I finally caught the ball. After a while we changed to the next activity.

We played a little game at the end. You had to try and tag the opposite team. If you do, you get out. My team had the ball first. Everyone was screaming “ Pass it to me!”  I passed it around, people got tug until the ball went out of the court. It was the other teams turn. I ran and ran but the next thing I knew I was tug! OUT! The opposition were fast and got most of my team out. They were good.

After the game we lined up and went back to class. Netball skills was fun and I can’t wait to hear whats in store for us next week.
