This term our kiwisport was tennis. Our coach was Peter, he taught us how to hold a racket depending on whether your right handed or left handed. We also learnt how to hit the tennis ball forehand and backhand.
We started off with a warmup, this warmup was to see how we react. We had to get into partners and one person would hold the ball up and the other person will put their hands out facing down and when the partner with the ball drops the ball they have to react by turning their hands and catching it.
Then we started with throwing and hitting. In our partners one person would under arm the ball over the net and the other person has to hit the ball depending on which side the ball is thrown on, the backhand side or forehand side. The aim was to hit the ball and throw the ball where the cones were in front of us.
Next we had done some relays. It was hard because we were trying to keep the ball going from side to side. If you aim the racket facing one way then when you hit the ball it will go where the racket is facing. We had to try and hit the ball gently so the other person wouldn't need to keep on running back and forth.
