- haiku poem about softball

Haiku

I don’t really play
But I guess it was cool-ish
I hit the ball once

It didn’t go far
But I did get to first base
Which was somewhat cool

-

The ball came rushing
The bat I held swung forward
I stand silently

And then I take off
My feet run towards first base
I make the first base

The Intense Games

Today we had a Softball lesson with Softball coaches from Auckland sport, it was really exciting because we haven't had a Softball lesson for a week. Before we started everyone wanted to warm up so we had a game of octopus but, it started to spit so we ended the game a little bit earlier. We started of easy, we just rolled the ball to our partners and they would roll it back. we had to stand in a monkey pose to catch the ball it was really funny.

Next we started throwing the Softball back and forth to each other, the people that were good at aiming, throwing and catching were able to go further and further backwards it was really freaky because the ball could easily hit us if we make a little mistake. There was a very loud blow at the center of the court. “Please hold your ball” Sammy said loudly, “We are going to have a little competition to see who throw the farthest” she said everyone started to get hyped up.

“On your marks set” and Sammy blew the whistle every one started throwing back and forth, and making sure not to forget to step backwards. It was getting really intense on the courts. Then there was another whistle it was a sign to stop. “Put your hand up you three and anyone else put you Softballs and gloves in the bags” everyone started walking of the court and siting either leaning on the wall around the wall or on the chair, some people were standing to watch the action. The threw from one end of the court the other one team walked of the court because dropped the ball, There was two team Siupeli and Christian, Lisiate and Nathaniel. “The winner” Sammy said it was Lisiate and Nathaniel. All of us were congratulating them and then we thanked Sammy and Vick.

The Catch of The Day

On Tuesday we had a Softball session with three ladies from Auckland Sport, it was really exciting to learn how to play softball properly. But first we had to find a buddy.

Then we learned how to roll the ball and catch it in this monkey pose, it was really funny. Then we learnt hot to bounce the ball. The most interesting activity we did was throwing and catching the ball.

Softball was really fun. I can’t wait till the next time we have another session.
