🏈 Kiwisport - Flag Football 🏈
Kia ora viewers, unicorns, aliens or who or whatever you are and welcome back to my blog!
Today for our kiwisport we had tried our new sport which was... FOOTBALL! At first I thought that they were talking about the Soccer Football but I then realised it was the American Football.
Our coaches names were, Coach Will and Coach Karl. They were teaching us about how to throw the ball, because it is shaped like a mini rugby ball but instead you throw it over hand. You first place your index finger just above the top white line, you then use your middle, pinkie and ring finger laced on the laces, while your thumb is tucked under the ball; make sure there is space between the ball and your palm. Once you know how to hold the ball you then point the ball outwards at the back of your head and then slowly rotate the ball inward and throw. We then learnt to catch, you catch it with a diamond shaped figure of your hand and then put the ball in between the middle of you index and middle finger, you then tuck the opposite side of the tip into your inner elbow and tuck the ball for it to be in between you chest and inner arm.
Once we had learnt how to catch and pass we had played a game of flag football (Flag football is like American football without the tackling). We were divided into 2 teams. In my team was Coralee, Demetrius, Aumau, Tevita, Kaleb and Fe'ao; We had to then split the team but since the team was uneven we had 3 in one team and 4 in the other of our big group. I was with Fe'ao and Kaleb so I was apart of the 3 person team. The opponent team had gotten 2 touchdowns and our 4 people team also got 2 touchdowns, it was AWESOME.
I hope you enjoyed this recount and please comment what you think I can improve on!
