Kiwisport Reflection

IALT: Write about my KiwiSport Experience.

Today we had our 2nd KiwiSport session, this term we have a different sport, Basketball. Last term we did Skateboarding and Badminton this term we are doing Basketball. Basketball is one of my favourite sports because I like to both block and shoot. During this time I enjoyed the way we got to practise on how to pass properly, in a basketball game the ball moves faster than the players so we had to practise passing so when we played in a real game we didn't have to concentrate too hard on which type of pass we had to use.

We practised, 3 different types of passing, Overhead Pass, Chest Pass, Bounce Pass. The easiest one for me was the Chest Pass my accuracy was high, I managed to pass the ball directly to the chest of my partner Matthew. The hardest pass was the Overhead pass, I had to take a step before passing but at the same times my elbows were getting sore and soon all my power in my arms decreased. We also played a game in which we had to practise passing and laying up. At first I didn't quite understand but I quickly released what to do pretty quick. I was proud of myself when I got my shot in. Finally it was time to finish. This week's session was amazing and I look forward to playing again next week.

Not Playing Rugby for a While

For the past 5-6 weeks the boys haven't been playing Rugby which is weird. Even though Rugby is one of our favourite sports, we haven't played it in a while and I am thinking what if we don't play will we ever get better at it? I should just leave my questions for later. We always play Rugby at Lunchtime and play Touch or Basketball at Morning Tea. Basketball is sort of taking over Rugby because we haven't played in a while.

Whenever we get the chance to play we can't due to some boys not playing or no teacher being able to watch us play. We are not allowed to play without a teacher because there have been to much fights in the past. I think this is a little selfish because at the age of 12 or 13 we should be able to watch over ourselves, but NO!. Because boys are boys, and they like conflict as well as fun, but sometimes boys go over the mark.

Overall, I think that not playing Rugby has affected our skills in the sport and many boys are getting into playing Basketball.

I found not playing Rugby challenging because I'm beginning to play basketball ALOT!
