10/22/2023 3 Comments Week 4: Football for beginnersThis week we have been researching the basics of football. So far, we have learned that there are three main parts of football, deffense, offense, and special teams. The defense makes sure that the offense doesnt score and the special teams are used to change field position. We also know that there are 11 players on each team on the field. We researched how to throw a football correctly and have watched a few videos. We are going to get one of our friends to teach us how to play football. We want to be taught how to properly throw the ball, how to catch the ball, etc. We also want to see what type of exercies football players have to do in order to stay in shape and prevent injuries. So, this week we have been trying to understand the basics of football and hopefully next week we will know how to play.

10/15/2023 1 Comment Week Three: Learning LacrosseWe got our friend Olivia to teach us how to play lacrosse. First she taught us how to cradle the ball. Cradling is when you rotate the stick in half-turns. We all struggled at first but Olivia helped us work on our technique. After we practiced how to cradle we asked Olivia who was the best at it. She said that Lexi was the best at cradling. Next, Olivia taught us how to throw the ball. She had to show us the correct form on how to hold the stick and how to aim. We all thought that throwing was pretty easy to do. Olivia said that Daniela was the best at throwing. Olivia also taught us how to do long passes. She told us that we had to throw it with more power for the long passes. Daniela and Ava did good but Lexi did struggle at first because she wasnt throwing it with enough power. She eventually got the hang of it after practicing for a little bit. Olivia said that Ava was the best at the long passes. After Olivia taught us how to throw she taught us how to catch. She passed each of us the ball a few times so that we could get used to it. Olivia said that Daniela was the best at catching. Finally, Olivia taught us how to check. Checking is where you hit an opposing players lacrosse stick so that they drop the ball. We all struggled with this becuase we didnt know how hard we had to hit the other stick so that the other person would drop the ball. After practicing a while of practicing Olivia said that Lexi was the best at checking. We aksed Olivia who was the best overall at lacrosse and she said Ava. Olivia said that if we were to play lacrosse Lexi would be defense, Daniela would be attack, and Ava would be midfielder.
10/8/2023 5 Comments Week Two: Lacrosse ResearchThe first sport we are going to be trying is lacrosse. We have researched the basics of lacrosse. We learned that there are ten players on each team. There are three attackmen, three midfielders, three defensemen, and one goalie. Players score a goal by shooting the ball into the opposing teams goal and each goal is worth one point. There is also something called stick checks, its when a player uses their stick to knock the ball out of the opponent's stick. A body check is when the player uses their stick to push the opponent off of their path. We watched a Youtube video that said you should be holding the stcik with your hands shoulders width apart.
