Ultimate Frisbee

 Today we played Ultimate Frisbee. This was entertaining for me but maybe not for other people as they weren't very engaged in the activity. Our team won but towards the end the other team started to catch up. I was playing the versatile role meaning I would try to be as open as possible and follow the frisbee. This was a test of my endurance and eventually, I got tired. However, even though I was open most of the time, no-one passed to me eventually to me only getting the frisbee twice and me running out of energy faster.

Volleyball

 Today we played Volleyball. I was in a team with Ahan and Lucas. We could've done much better but Lucas basically just stood around with his hand behind his back then entire flippin time. It was either me or Ahan serving most of the time and we played pretty well! I could have improved my serves by not hitting as hard and I think I sometimes could've let the ball bounce before hitting it. Overall I think me and Ahan did well .

Orienteering task

 Today we did an Orienteering task. I was partners with Fin and we got 10/15 marker points. I feel like we could've done better but my partner wanted to finish 5 minutes before the time was up. Before however, I played table tennis with Ahan. I played pretty well however I could've improved by spending less time attacking than defending.

Endball

 Today we played some endball. Endball is a highly entertaining game for players and the coach. But we played it with a twist. We were in groups of three and we were rotating around. I was in two threes. I was with Caio, Natalie for one three and I was with Altay and someone else for the other group. Best part is when I got the ball, I scored for one of the first times in grade 8. This was a fun activity and I look to doing more in the future.

Badminton

 Today we played badminton. Badminton is a sport that brings people together. Together, Me, Ahan, Sophia, Aurelia, Crystal, Altay and Fred all banded together to play a game of "King of the Court". King of the Court is a game where we play 1 point of Badminton, then who ever wins stays on the court and whoever lost went off and we switched like this. I first went hyper-aggressive which didn't really worked so I switched to defensive and consistent. This strategy somehow worked and I managed to score a reign of 7 when no one could get past the defense. I could've done better but then I got tired and got progressively worse.

Army Dodgeball

 Today we played army dodgeball. This was highly entertaining as we got to face off among ourselves. I was a regular soldier and I tried my best not to get hit. I was one of the ball collectors meaning I was supporting the main offense people by passing them balls to attack with. I could have challenged myself by trying to attack but I was a bit nervous about doing so. Next time I want to challenge myself and push it to my limit.

Grip Test

I was absent for this task so I do not know what we did
