AFL | Week 2

We learnt two new skills from our coach named Andre. They were called a tackle and a ruck.

The first skill we practised was called: The handball pass. The first step was to make a fist with your most dominant hand that you write with. The next step was to use your least dominant hand and make a dinner plate.The last step was to aim your fist at the x and do a pirate dance. 

The second skill that we practised was called: A drop punt kick. The first step was to make the letter M on the top of the ball, and make sure the laces are not facing your face.

The Next step was to face the ball top to bottom so you can kick the X. The last step is to face your toes to your partner and kick the on the X.

Afterwards, we learnt how to do the two new skills.

The first skill Andre taught us was called: A ruck or a tip off. Their are only two steps. The first step was to throw the ball up in the air. The second step is to try and hit the ball up in the air before your teamate does.

The second skill we learnt was called: tackling. The tackling skill is to aim for the hips. You have to strap your arms around your opponent and tackle them to the ground. The first step was to get on our knee's. The next step is to try and tackle your partner to the grass

The part that I enjoyed the most was trying to hit the teachers because I want to get better at my aiming.
