Netball Session With Anne

Today we had a netball session with Anne from Auckland Netball. She 
came to our school to teach us some netball skills and also some new 
fun games. 

First of all we played a warm up game called shadow follower, and what I 
learnt from that  game was to always stand one feet away from the person 
who has the ball.

Next, we did some drills on intercepting while someone has a ball in their 
hands, what I learnt from that activity was that when your intercepting 
someone always watch the person who has the ball and not the person 
who is receiving the ball.

After that we did another activity which is called four corner attack/
defending, and what I learnt about that activity was to always stay
with your partner and always be in front of them if you are defending.

Last of all we played a shooting game. So we had to split into two 
teams and then one person who is isn't playing has to called out a 
number and then that number grabs the ball which is in the middle 
of the court and passes it to the first person in line, then the who person 
grabbed the ball from the middle has to run in the semi-circle under the 
hoop and then the last person in line has to past the ball to the person 
under the hoop and shoot it. If they get the first ball in then they get
two point and if they get it the second time they get one point.


In the end my team won  24 - 16, we all were proud of ourselves and also 

the other team that lost also proud themselves to. 
I really enjoyed that netball session we had because I learnt a lot of 
new things about netball and also because it was fun.
