Hi 5 Netball

 

Yesterday was our first Hi 5 netball session.   We started by Mrs Nicholls explaining the rules of netball - how long we can hold the ball for, which areas of the court players can go in, that we cannot contact another player, you can't drop the ball and then pick it up (replaying), you must give the opposition with the ball three feet from the player holding the ball.  We passed the ball to each other and swapping players when Mr Allen blew the whistle without contacting each other, then We then had a little try at one of the hardest things to master -  the footwork rule! You cannot step once you have caught the ball (footwork or can be known as travelling). We then did some races involving ball handling skills.    ALL the children were enthusiastic, listened carefully and tried really hard.   Every session we will pick a player to take home a small trophy for the week, and this week, although all the children were fantastic, the trophy was given to Marwan for his speed, ball skills and enthusiasm.
