AFL Training

We went on the field to learn from a AFL Coach named Andre. AFL stands for Australian Football League. 

First, Coach Andre told us to do the two skills we practiced from two weeks ago. Hand ball is using my dominant hand for a fist and my non-dominant hand for a dinner plate.

Next, I practiced the tackling skill and the ruck skill. The tackling skill for AFL is aiming for the hips, if we strap around and aim for the head, that is a penalty or a high tackle, same goes for legs. The ruck skill is where the referee throws the ball in the air, and the two tall players out of the two teams has to try an hit first, kind of like basketball.

Lastly, I practiced the lower punt skill. A lower punt is kicking the ball and I had to make sure that my hand is shaped like a M on top of the ball. M stands for Macca's. I had to make sure that the ball was facing away from my face and that technique is called Laces to the faces. I also had to make sure that my foot was kicking the X on the ball, so the ball could go to the person I am aiming at.

I enjoyed doing these two skills with Coach Andre because the two new skills we practiced added on to my learning of AFL. I never got tagged in Octopus and I tried to use the techniques to bomb the teacher, but I failed.

Kiwisport | Touch Rugby

We carried on learning two basic skills, they were a two man settle and a three man settle.

First we practised a two and three man settles to get ready for a game of touch. Coach mark told us to aim for one person when we drive the ball down the field.

Afterwards we played a game of touch. The game was for learning how to play and how to use a two and three man settle.

I enjoyed touch rugby because I was doing a three man settle very well with Josh and Kahu. I need to work on two man settles. I got shouted out from Mark, our coach, because I was listening to his instructions.

Touch Rugby

This week for Touch Rugby we learnt two new basic skills.

First we did a three settle. A three settle includes three people. In the front is A, in the middle is B, and in the back is C. A has to plant the ball and then B has to grab the ball and then pass it to C.

Afterwards we did a two settle. A two settle includes two people. In front is A, and at the back is B. A has to plant the ball and then B grabs the ball and then goes in front of A and passes the ball.

I enjoyed Touch Rugby because I learnt two new basic skills from my coach named Mark.

Touch Rugby

This week for Touch Rugby I learned two new basic skills.

First I practised how to plant the ball. I had to plant the ball by putting it on the ground and steping over it.

Next I played a game called "Blue Bibs versus Non-Bibs." Each team has a ball. Some players have a ball and some don't. I had no ball I had no ball so I had to tag the perso with the ball. When I tagged the person he planted the ball and passed to me so I have to run away from the person with no ball.

The last skill I learnt was defending and attacking. There was 2 defenders and 1 attacker. The defender has to try and block the ball the attackers from scoring a try.

I enjoyed Touch Rugby because I learnt new basic skills.

Kiwisport | Rugby Ball Skills T4W1

This week for Kiwisport we learnt new sport skills. The sport skills we learnt was about rugby ball skills. These rugby ball skills were basic. For example throwing the ball or passing the ball.

First I had to throw the ball over my head. Then I had to move fowards while I was throwing the ball over my head fowards and backwords.

Next we had to practise passing. When passing to someone make sure the person is moved back and make sure that you are in front. If you pass to the person thats in front of you that is a foward pass.

Then I had to practise rolling the ball under your legs. Before passing the ball to someone make sure that the person in front of you rolls the ball under you so you can pass it.

After we played a game. The game was to put the ball in a coloured hoop in a less time. When Mr Ogilvie blows the whistle and then calls out a colour the person with the ball passes it to thier partner and the person with the ball can't move. So when your partner go's to the colour hoop that Mr Ogilvie called out pass the ball to the your partner close to the hoop and your partner will put the ball in the hoop and once everyone puts the ball in the coloured hoop Mr Ogilvie stops the timer and our class time was 9 seconds.

I enjoyed Kiwisport because I got to learn some new sport skills.
