                       A.F.L Kiwi Sports

This morning my class went to our A.F.L Kiwi sports and we played a game of football but in a different sort of way. There were two teams, bibs and non bibs. I was one of the non bibs. The people with the bibs were called HAWTHORN & my team was called SYDNEY SWANS. My team (the SYDNEY SWANS) won and the HAWTHORNS lost. Last we had to sit on the floor and say thank you to Emily
 (Our A.F.L Teacher)

The Ruck

                                                               The Ruck

What:The ball is thrown up and you have to jump & high five it to your team. 

When:At the start of each quarter, after a goal & throws in.

Why:To decide who gets the ball

Who:The ruck men & empire

                                            The clock

Umpire calls out a o'clock & throws the ball up into the air and then the ruck men have to throw it in that direction.

12 o'clock is in front of you
3 o'clock is your right
6 o'clock is at the back of you
9 o'clock is at you left

The Bounce

The bounce

First make sure that the x on the ball faces towards you. Next bend your arms like a robot. Bounce the ball on the curve of the ball.Catch the ball with two hands

    The reason we need to know this skill

Is because every 10 steps you have to bounce or pass the ball.

Marks

                                                                      Marks

• Chest mark-  
• You have to make an eleven with your arms then you scoop the ball up and hold it . 

  

• Hand mark-
• Make your hands into a camera and make sure look through it so you can catch the ball.Make you thumbs touch each other and that your fingers are spread out and facing up.

• Spectacular mark-

Is to run then jump with     one leg down while your other leg is up in the air blocking your stomach.
