Kiwi Sports

Today at Kiwi Sports we were with Ann the instructor. She told us about what we were going to do. She told us that we would be playing a game that would teach us how to keep our distants when we are defending some one. The game was called Shadow Follower. For this game you would need a partner. I was with a boy named Chris. One will have a imaginary ball in their hand and the other will be following you around. When they touch your shoulder with their hand you are to turn around and pretend you are trying to pass or shoot the ball. So that the other person can practice defending the ball and not your face.We didn't play Shadow follower fore that long because it was just to warm us up to do the other activities.

After that we played a game about intersecting and passing. You and your partner from Shadow Follower were to chose two other people to play the next game with. Two people would have the ball and the other two were to try and intersect the ball. The other two that me and Chris were playing with was my twin brother Levi and his partner Mafoa. Ann had told us not to move around but they did it anyway. She also said that you were not allowed to do over head passes.

The next activity was also about intersecting. This game didn't have a name. Four people would be in a square. And one person in the middle. There would be two people on the side. One calling out were to go to get the ball and the other trying to intercept the ball. There were four spots for us to stand on and pass the ball to the person running around. Once the person in the middle was ready we added the defender. I didn't like that game very much because the people would just keep throwing the ball at you when you were not looking at them.

At the end we played another game to do with shooting. We were split into two groups. In my group there were all boys, the was Hemi, Taki, Levi G, Lio, Miami, Chris, Moses, Levi, Levi R, Danny Joe, Dasharn and I think some other people. This game I liked. The two groups would stand on a line near the middle of the court. Then miss would give us all a number. When she called your number you were to run and get one of the two balls in the middle of the hola hoop in the middle of the two groups. Once you have the ball you give the ball to the first person in line, then they have to pass it to the entire team. While they are doing that you are to go to the goal and wait for them to be finished and shoot the ball in. If you get it in straight away that is two points if you get it in on the second time you get one point. After that we went back to class and blogged about this which is what I am doing now.
