This week we had a visit from Amber from Wellington Softball Association.
She was teaching us about Softball.
It was an awesome way to spend a sunny afternoon. For some, they were familiar with the rules and setup, for others it was a brand new experience.
First we played a running relay race around the bases, getting familiar with the direction and order we run in. Then we buddied up and practised some overhand throws and catching.
Towards the end of the session we got to play softball 5. This involved us hitting the ball with our open hands, while the other team fielded, trying to get the ball back to a hula hoop at home plate before the batting team made it safely to a base. It was lots of fun and everyone got involved and into it.
Trying new things is so important for us to not only see what we like, but also to step out of our comfort zones and approach things with a growth mindset.
