Kiwisport Reflection: Cricket

LI: to learn the basic skills of cricket
Our teacher was Brian from HPPC who came here to teach us some cricket. We first learned our bowling skills by getting into groups of 3 - 4 and try to hit the wicket or the cones. If we hit the cones  we put the cones on the wicket and if we hit the wicket we remove a wicket. We also learned this technique from Brian which was to have our arm pointing at our target, and when we threw the ball we would step forward so we would have more power. We then went onto our batting skills, we got into our groups again. In each group we had one batter who would hit the ball, and the the others who were the field team trying to gather the balls then put them back. While the field team is getting the balls the batter has to do as much runs as they can until the field team put the balls back.

Kiwi Sport

LI: learning throwing skills
This Thursday I went to KiwiSport.
The first thing we played was called Fruit Salad. We had four groups and our group name would have to be a fruit. There was Banana, Cherries, Apples, and Watermelons. Andy - KiwiSport teacher would say two of the groups name and those two groups would have to switch positions. At the middle was Mr Ogilvie he was the fruit basket. If Andy shouted out "Fruit Basket!" we would all have to go to the person that is the fruit basket. After that we did some throwing with shot put balls. We had to get with a partner and Andy told us the skills we needed.
Skills:
Hold the ball under you jawline, under your ears, and next to your neck
Hold ball with finger tips
Chin knee toe all in a row
Low high, watch it fly
When you throw you do not take the ball away from your neck, you bring your body when you throw including your neck.
Unfortunately this was our last session/lesson with Andy.
