Football Tournament
Today we went to the Football Tournament at the Showgrounds in Balclutha. Waiwera South entered two teams: The Waiwera All Whites and the Waiwera Phoenix. Everyone got stuck in and tried their best, making great improvements throughout the day. Thanks heaps to John and Darrell for managing our teams and to all the parents for providing transport. It was a great day out.

Tuesday 5th April
Last Wednesday we had our Sports Activator Greer come to school to continue to teach us some football skills.
We were learning how to dribble the ball. We found it is much easier to do this by using the side of our feet instead of our toes!
We started by playing a game of rob the nest where we had to dribble the balls back to our hoops and try to steal the soccer balls from the other teams. It was a lot of fun!
We also did a couple of drills called 4 goals and king of the field which helped us improve our dribbling, goal scoring and fitness. These games also helped us with our defending- we learnt that having a good defense is key to winning games.
We finished our session with practicing kicking goals which proved to be quite a challenge.
These skills will be super helpful especially for those heading to the Football tournament in a couple of weeks.  |
