Hooray! Today was another lesson of football with Ben. For warm up we had a race. Then we started our lesson. He taught us how to dribble the soccer ball and how to do the scissors step. We practiced that for a while and then we went onto a game of football. It was the same teams, Outlaws vs Bulldogs. We only had five minutes of the game because some people took a long time to listen, so we just had a five minute game.
While the game was on everyone had really good kicks, and passes. The best kick was from our mate Jerome. We felt sad when we heard we only had 20 seconds left, then the time was up. Ben went over the juggling, dribbling and scissors skills again. I can’t wait till our lesson next week!!!

In our second soccer session with Ben, I learnt how to do the scissor kick, it was really easy when I got the hang of it. All we had to do is put the left leg over the soccer ball then the right, turn and dribble the ball away from the defender. But the main skill we were learning was how to dribble. After practising dribbling the ball, we played a game - it was kind of like soccer, but instead of having an open goal there are cones. When some one from the other team hits one of the cones they take it to their side, and the team with the most cones wins. We had a lot of fun during the session.
I can’t wait till our next session with Ben.
