Kiwi Sports: Softball ( Batting and Fielding)
Learning Intention: Understand and practise the game of softball.
Learnt About: This week for Kiwi Sports, Ashley took us out for softball.  We were divided into two groups, a group for batting and the other group for fielding. Both groups got a chance to do batting and fielding and that includes each students as well. The batters have to hit the two balls and the fielders are suppose to catch the ball and put it on the cone near them. While the fielders are getting the ball, the batter has to run to each base and back to its original base to gain points.   I have realised that this game is very similar to the American baseball that I normally watch.
I learnt by: Ash our sports teacher today gave us instructions about how to play this game. She told us that while batting: Our knuckles should be lined up. Our hand together while holding the bat firmly. Our elbow up to the shoulder height. The feet should be about shoulder width apart. We need to be focused on the ball thrown towards the batter in order to give the right hit. We also learnt about soft ball by practising batting and fielding in the ground.
