Fun Ferns Netball Skills

This week in E6 we have been learning some Netball skills with Jo.  We have had a great time playing some games that have helped us learn to control, catch and throw a ball.  We have also learned how to move our bodies around the court with ease.   We think we can dodge and pivot just like the Silver Ferns do!

How do you control the ball?

Our Fun Ferns coach Joe taught us to keep our fingers wide open ready to catch and grip the ball.  We learned about keeping our hands soft.

What else did we learn at our Fun Ferns Netball Sessions? 

• It is important to keep our eyes watching the ball.
• We need our hands out in front of us so that we're ready to catch the ball.  
• We need to land softly with bent knees when we jump.
• We push the ball away from our chest when we throw it.
• We can make a rainbow pass by pushing the ball high up above our heads and over to our buddy.

Most of all, we learned that Netball is FUN!  

Thank you Jo for coming to teach us Netball!  

Watch out Silver Ferns....here come the E6 Fun Ferns!
