George the soccer coach came over from Nelson this week to teach us some basic soccer skills. He made us practise dodging between players and then we played a few games that focused on ball control and looking for support players while still dribbling the ball.
Josh the volleyball coach came in this week to teach us some basic skills. We have two year 6 volleyball teams who play after school on Wednesday nights. Josh showed us how to do a forearm pass and how to volley correctly. Josh plays for the New Zealand Volleyball team (even though he has Canadian accent!) and plays in competitions all around the world.
