Grant from Otago touch came to our school to teach us some touch skills while playing some fun games like candle sticks and racing to the ball.
We played candlesticks to boost our speed, agility, dodging, placing the ball and side stepping.
We followed on with some more skills which focused in our catching, passing, touching, defending and attacking.
Grant thinks that our some members of our class have great touch skills. He spent the rest of the morning working with the children playing touch this year testing and trialling them he is also going to recommend which players should go to South Otago trails. Hopefully some of them get into this team and then go onto represent Otago for touch also.
Thanks for coming to our school Grant!

ReplyDeleteI liked doing touch practice but I was annoyed when I had to go to Jean half way through. From Vaughan
