Kiwisport - Tennis: Volleyball

IALT: Reflect on the sessions we had for Kiwisport and Volleyball.

Kia Ora! Malo! and many more greetings!. 

Today was the last session for Tennis, and the first session for Volleyball. 

This week, we are doing volleyball because, a tournament will be held in the terms of Term1 Week5. 

This will be a great time to be practicing. 

Tennis:

One thing I enjoyed during Tennis was, connecting with my pairs in the group and having their support during the game we had. 

The challenging part of this game was running for the ball. My partner really did make me feel like Usain Bolt. 

Kiwisport just made me feel AMAZING! It made my birthday feel like a spark. I am now active and now ready for the rest of my day at school.

For next time when we have Tennis, I could improve on having a Growth Mindset. Sometimes in the morning, I feel like I ain't in the mood for running and hitting the ball.

This will be a great time for me to improve on this goal. 

Volleyball:

Have you ever played Volleyball before?

Well, today was the first time i've played Volleyball. 

And I already feel like i'm better. My skills are top mark. And I feel like im really really good at this game. 

Something I enjoyed about this session was learning how to serve and setting the ball. 

To set the ball - An easy way to learn, is to put you hands around your heaps and then bring them up over your head. If the ball perfectly fits in between your hands, then it will be good enough for you to set the ball. Usually, people hit with there palms and push up. In this case, you need to go under the ball and let your fingertips push the ball upwards. 

To serve the ball - There will be a line for the server. When the reef blows the whistle, you need to run 3 steps up - Throw the ball up with the hand you do not write with and hit the ball on the wrist/ball of your hands. 

Although, make sure your knees are a little bit bent and your heaps are facing straight. If you do not follow this rule - The ball with follow wherever your heaps faced. 

Next time, I could improve on calling out that the ball is mine and not running for the ball, when it isn't coming for me. 

If I do this consistently, then I will be better in Volleyball. 

OH YES!! Now I see that I am not that good at Volleyball, but I know a lot of skills! 

This makes me want to learn more skills and rules for Volleyball.
