Last week room 12 and Room 11 went down to the courts in the morning on Thursday to learn some skills about AFL. On of the men who was an instructor use to go to St. bens when he was a kid and his last year was in 2001. We will be going down to the courts on Thursday for another 5 weeks.
Some catch phrases they taught us to help with skills was 'laces away from faces' and 'point your toes where you want the ball to go' and 'arms like an arrow' when holding the ball. last week we learned how to pass by kicking it. The certain type of kick is called a drop punt which is where the cross on the ball face up and down and you kick it with your toes pointing to where you want to kick. The ball travels through the air with it spinning backwards and upright. Another thing when passing is to try and not make it bounce otherwise it could just bounce anywhere. But if you kick a clean kick right into the chest there is less chance of dropping it. Some new things I learnt about AFL was that The field is 180metres long and 270metres wide. I didn't learn much because I knew some stuff already.
That's was my blog post for this week about skills about AFL come back next week for another blog post.
