Basketball with Mitch

Mitch, the sports activator, and his helper Nicole were at school today working with Room 4 on basketball skills.  It was amazing just how many skills we packed into 35 minutes!

Here we are working hard at keeping our eyes UP so that we can see others around us rather than eyes on the ball.

This time we had to get as low as we possibly could while still dribbling the ball.

Time for the ball to be passed between and around our legs...

.... then behind our backs!

Mitch held up coloured discs and we had to keep dribbling our own ball while watching andcalling out the colours of the discs that were being held up.  It was quite a challenge for some.

Individual skills

The trickiest challenge of all was to dribble two basketballs at the same time!!!!First we had to dribble them in time, and then out of time so it sounded like a machine gun.

Game time!  Blake proved too much of a champ winning all three games of 'King of the court'where you had to dribble your own ball while knocking others out of the play area.

We finished off our session by shooting some baskets.  Lots of fun and great physical activity.

  1. Wow Room 4 - this looks like fantastic fun, and you certainly did work on a lot of different skills in a short amount of time. I hope we have some time next week for you to teach me all of these cool new activities - Mrs May
