My Experience with the Warriors 070819

My Experience with the Warriors

On a Wednesday afternoon, students as well as myself,
were given a fascinating suprise. This surprise took me by shock,
as I didn't recognize who they were, and why they were here.
I first saw them at lunch, whilst I was playing handball with a couple of friends.
At a point, I did see they had special t-shirts on,
and had loads of things stacked behind them,
but I never really took notice,
and thought they were just helpers of the hockey instructors. My bad.

Immediately after lunch, most students from years 6-8 were selected,
and granted the opportunity of training with the warriors!
The New Zealand Warriors! I was stunned,
yet at the same time, felt embarrassed of the fact,
I didn't recognize players representing our country.
There were three players in total.
Eliesa Katoa, Selestino Ravutaumada and Tohu Harris.
They each so kindly taught us skills which they do,
or have used in a game of rugby.
From my experience, I found it fun, and thought the session was very active.

At the end of our training, three students got prizes,
due to how they reacted and how well they adapted to
new skills. Thank you for your attention.

Hockey 010819

Thursday 01 August 2019
Recap: My class wrote a brief script based on hockey.
In this text, I wrote about why so many people love this specific sport,
as well as what players mainly do during the game.

Have you ever looked at a simple game of hockey,
and pondered about how fast the ball can get from one spot to another? It’s facinating of how quickly the ball moves,
as the players pass from one person, to another.
At times, you can see the laughter the team members share,
as they try block their oppenents from the ball.
For this reason, is why so much fans support this sport.

Hockey is a team sport, where everyone discusses which skills to use,
and how to do specific things. They prepare certain strategies and use
that as an advantage of a way to score another goal. 

Hockey is divided by two main purposes, to  attack, or defend.
The attackers job is to move up,
and efficiently abduct the ball from the other team.
They then try pass it along, as the ball gets closer to the goal,
and shoot for a point. However, a defenders role in the game rather
drops back,
and patiently waits in case of any unexpected causes in the game,
such as the other team stealing the ball.

Like most sports, the team with the most points win.
For me, its all about skill, and technique, but for others it could be
about speed and reflexes.
What techniques would you use in a game of hockey for your team to win?
