Netball Helping:
Every day is about 2 hours because it is an hour each year group and I did it for 5 weeks so that equals 10 hours.
Every Friday a group of us help at a netball programme with little kids. We normally have two groups of kids. There is a 1 – 2 year group and a 3 – 4 year group.
Each day Mrs Newton would split the kids into two groups and about 3 helpers would go with one group. Normally we would all go on a line and play a game called rats and rabbits and how that would work is we are all on a line and Mrs Newton would call rats or rabbits and if she called your name you had to run to another line behind you, but if you got tagged by the other team you had to switch teams to the opposite team you were in.
After the rats and rabbits game the teams would come back together and we would all do some fitness games so we would all go on a line and run really fast then we would skip to the other line and back then we would do some squats and lunges. After that we would all get a ball and a pair then Mrs Newton would say we were going to do some passes, then when you picked your partner we would do chest passes, shoulder passes, over the head passes, then we would do bounce passes.
When we finished doing the passes drill we would do netball knockout, so we would have to be split into teams again and one team would be shooting and the other team would be running around a quarter of the court so if the team that’s shooting misses the person runs to the end of the court to win for their team.
After all the games and drills it would be finished and after the 5 weeks of doing the netball helping Mrs Newton gave us a swimming pool voucher and a few pieces of chocolate.
