He gave us a demonstration of how to do it. He told us that we needed to put our fingers on the white laces and when we throw it we need to flick our wrist to try to create a spiral. We all threw the ball a few times and we were all good at it. We asked Alex who was the best at throwing and he said Ava was the best. Next, he taught us how to catch the ball. He threw the football at us so that we could catch it. First, he threw the ball at Ava and she caught it on the first try. Daniela was next and she also caught on her first try. Then he threw the football at Lexi and she also caught it on her first try. We spent a few minutes throwing and catching the ball. We asked him who was the best at catching the ball and he said Lexi.
Then he taught us how to tackle. First, he demonstrated how to tackle and he showed us the right form. We got Olivia Williams to be the person we tackled. We tackled each other gently and didn't use much force because we didn't want anyone to get hurt. Ava went first and tried to tackle Olivia. She didn't tackle her on the first try but after a bit of practice and Alex correcting her form, she was able to get it after a few tries. Then it was Daniela’s turn to tackle Olivia. She also had to try a few times before being able to tackle Olivia. Lexi went next and she also had to try a few times to be able to actually tackle Olivia. Tackling was the part that we all struggled the most because we didnt want to be to rough and accidentally hurt ourselves or Olivia. We asked Alex who was the best at defense and he said that Ava was better at it than Daniela and Lexi. After this we did offense. This time instead of us tackling Olivia, Olivia was tackling us. Alex taught us how to try to prevent getting tackled. Olivia tackled all of us and she did it on the first try. She was definetly better than all of us at tackling. We practiced a few times and we kept trying to dodge her tackles while catching the ball without dropping it. Alex said that Daniela was the best at this. Finally, we asked Alex who he could see playing football the most. He said Ava and his reasoning was because that she is the strongest out of the three of us.
