A.F.L

Aussie Football League -

9:40am struck and off we went to A.F.L. As I stepped into the hall something caught my attention and my eyes looked straight away at the balls that were layered on the ground. That told me that we were going have a lot of fun.

We started with a little warm up, by playing Rats and Rabbits. I was partners with Quasia, she was a rat and I was a rabbit. When a caller calls “Rabbit!” the rabbits have to run to their home straight ahead before the rats catch them.

First we went over some of the skills we had learnt with Tim in previous weeks.  My favorite skill was doing the ruck. The ruck is how the game starts its similar to the start of basketball. To practice the ruck we first got into threes. Two had to challenge and stand beside each other ready to jump up for the ball when the third person threw it. The aim was to tap the ball onto their side.

Lastly we ended with a game. To play the game we had to get in teams. Our team was called rabbits we had to dodge and get away from the taggers. I sprinted to the other side of the hall before the taggers got me. I leap as the ball went under my leg. “Phew”! I said. I zigzag through the other teams. But luckily I never got out.

We finished A.F.L by gathering together. “Thank you” Tim class 4 said!
