Squash

Over the last couple of days we learnt how to play squash. Squash is a similar game to tennis but with a wall in front of you.The skills we learnt was how to hold the racket and how to serve the ball and also learnt how to hit it. Riccardo and Kirsten tough us the basics.

Day1: Skills
On Tuesday we learnt the basics on playing squash we learnt to bat the ball and also learnt the rules.
We also learnt to serve the ball because if you serve it under the service line then 1 point will be token off.

Day2:Practise
On Wednesday was the day we got to play with a buddy. Everyone was so excited and mostly forgot about the rules.But on the way we remembered them. It finally come down to the last 2 players for King Of The Court.

Day3:Compitition
On Thursday was the tournament day. Everyone was so excited. Everyone got there game faces on.We were so intent to play a game. We were splitted into 4 groups. The 1st group was for the pro's.But we got better and better. Then finally it came down to the last 2. Anamanu and her partner.They played and played and played until the ball come running across the line."Out" said the umpire. We all clapped for the winner.

Day4:Rally

This was the last day of our session we just couldn't wait to get our hands on the rackets.We were also sad because it was our last session.
Then it was time for the rally.We played a few games of squash then went on playing a game of relay to get the last few point but unfortunately we won because we had the most points of the day.
We cheered our loudest because of our happiness.

I had a great time learning how to play squash.I wish we get a great opportunity like this again.
