AFL Training week 2

Group B went on the field and played AFL with our new coach Andre.

First we did all the skills we were shown last time. The first one we did was kicking. To kick the ball we had to face the laces on the ball away from us and while doing it we had to make a M with our hands. Then we had to make sure our foot was targeting the place where we would kick it.

After kicking the ball we passed it. To pass we had to make our dominant hand into a fist and our non-dominant hand into a plate. Next we used our plate hand to hold the ball and then we used our fist to punch the X on the ball.

Then we learnt how to tackle people with the ball. First you had to wrap your arm around the person's body and pull them to the ground. After learning how to tackle we learnt about a new skill called tip-off. To tip-off we had to throw a ball up and first person that slaped the ball did it.

My favorite part was slapping the ball when we were doing tip-off because I mostly slaped it.
