Basketball stars

We have been very lucky lately because we have had Lawrence come to take us for basketball training. On the first day we learnt how to dribble the ball, using our fingers to push the ball downwards. We were also practicing ball control by carefully moving the ball around our legs.

Last week we were split up into teams and learnt all about teamwork, supporting our teammates and working together. We had to line up and pass the ball along the line by moving it under our legs, over our heads, under, over, under, over. When the ball got to the end of the line, the last person had to dribble the ball forward and we continued. We quickly learnt that the key was being alert. helping each other and thinking about what we were doing.
