Soccer

On the 22nd April 2015 Room 11 went out to the school field to practice soccer with the Football kids NZ Northern Football Federation coaches.

We played lots of fun games including Bull rush with soccer balls. This works by having one tagger in the middle and everyone else with a soccer ball trying to get to the other side without the tagger kicking the ball out of the boundary.

Next we played cowboys and cowgirls. This game works by having two people on each side of the pitch trying to kick their ball into other peoples ankles,feet or soccer balls. If they succeed they go to the side and they become a cowboy/cowgirl.The people who are not in are running to each side of the pitch (not running around in the middle).

The coaches were really cool. At lunchtime one of them even dressed up as an orange dragon and stood in the middle of the goal and blocked kicks from all the kids.

We had an awesome time and we hope that they come back to Sunnybrae school!
