Kiwi Sport (Softball)

Today LS1 had kiwi sport on the field with coach Alison. First we played a game of Scatter ball. We first had to get into pairs. Each partner had to get into one of the lines opposite to their partner. Then Alison chose which line/team would be fielding and batting. I was line who was batting up first. The ball was pitched to us by Alison. We had to use our knowledge from all the other softball sessions about how to do the right batting stance/position. One person at a time went from in the line so everyone got to bat. Since everyone got a partner and the amount of students were equal, every time one person hit the ball one person would get it and put it back on the cone then sit down because they already had a turn to field. The person who batted, ran to all the bases and came to home base and sat back down even if the ball was already back to home. This carried on to the last person in the batting team, then the rolls were switched over. In the end we played a few rounds of 4 corners, but in this case it was 4 bases. Alison closed her eyes and counted up to 5. Everyone had to go to a base and when she counted up to 5 she had to pick one base that she found was the nosiest then open her eyes. Who ever was on that base had to sit out and the game carried on with everyone else. I was very happy to win one of the rounds of this game. We had a few rounds of this and then the rules changed. We had to act as our favourite animal. Mine was a Wolf/Dog then for the second I was a chicken, and lastly I was a bunny. Finally the class came back and talked about what we did and etc.

Kiwi Sport (Softball)

This week LS1 had kiwi sport with coach Ashley on the field. For softball this week, we were learning to hit the ball without a T and have someone pitch it to us. Today we played scatter ball and we were having more of a real game of softball. Like all the other games, we were divided into 2 groups, one was fielding and the other ways batting. Before playing the game, we had to run down to the playground and back for a warm up. Then the roles switched over. We had Ashley pitch it to us. If you couldn't hit the ball within 3 pitches to you, you had to hit it off the T. At first I thought I was bad at batting but it turns out that I was not that bad, I was able to hit every ball that was pitched to me within the 3 ball limit. We had 2 rounds of the game before coming back. After that, we went over the basics of the things and the basics of what we learnt throughout the weeks of playing softball. I think my batting needs a little more working on because I want to be able to hit it far.
