Our First Best Softball Lesson!

Hooray! Today was our very first softball lesson this year with some coaches from Auckland Sport. We started off with a well warming game of red light, green light. Whenever she called out “Green light” we ru

n as fast as we can, when she called out “Red light” we stop as quickly as we can to not lose, and whenever she called out “Orange light” we walk. That was how we played the game and that was our warm up. Everyone was huffing and puffing because of all that running we did. We were as tired as sleeping koalas.

After that quiet game of red light, green light, we were taught some skills. The skills we learnt was the skills we already knew, but she taught just incase we do it wrong when we’re in a game. We got into pairs and we practiced our throwing and the way of how to throw. She told the correct of standing when you’re throwing. My buddy was too afraid to do that, she just stood there throwing and catching the ball. We practiced our throwing and catching for a while.

Our instructor told us to pass the ball back and forth to each and see how many passes we did, and we weren't allowed to drop the ball. MY buddy and I kept on dropping the on our first throw we didn’t even make past five, but when kept on going and going we made past 100. We were relieved.

After that we heard the next classes footsteps stomping down the court, and we felt sad because our time was over. So we said our thank you’s, and off we went to our classroom. That softball lesson was the best first softball lesson this year.
