AFL training

 This week we went to practise AFL with coach Andre.

First we practised how to pass an AFL ball to our partner, On your non Dominant hand you have to face your hand up and put it flat which is where you put the ball and have to make a fist with your dominant hand and have to hit the ball with that hand.

Next we also practised kicking, we had to get an AFL ball and make a M with your hands and get the laces away from your face so when you kick you don't hit your face. when you kick you hit your foot on the X part of the ball.

Then coach Andre taught us how to tackle in the AFL way, when we tackle we had to go on our knees and the person that had the ball has to defend it and the other person gets to bear hug the person so they could get the ball.

Lastly we learnt how to do a ruck, there were three people and one of the three people get to throw the ball up while the other two has to tip the ball while its coming down .

I had fun practicing the skills of AFL and the new skills,when I kick I need to get better at aiming the ball at my partner so I won't miss them.
