For the past four weeks, Rūma Rima was involved in a Basketball Programme. Two coaches came to each session and taught us ball skills, different types of passes and how to do a layup.
We were lucky to have Ashleigh taking the class for all four sessions, as well as Toby and Tom from the Canterbury Rams.
We found it difficult to control the ball when we were dribbling. We got much better at this by the fourth session!
One of the games we enjoyed was 'Numbers.'
The class was split in two and lined up along the side of half a basketball court. When Ashleigh called out a number, that number of students from each team had to run onto the court and try and get the ball into the hoop by passing, dribbling and shooting the ball.
We had fun shooting hoops and were amazed at Tom and Toby's dunk shots!
Heavenly really enjoyed the sessions and was a fantastic basketball player.
We all hope to have another opportunity learning about basketball and developing more skills and knowledge about the game.
We strongly recommend you have a go, too!
