Year 3 and 4 Learn to Play Homeball, by Mrs Walsh
Date: 21st Jun 2022 @ 4:46pm
Year 3 and 4 have played an adapted version of Home-Ball today. Home-Ball is a unique game which is played inside a court completely surrounded by nets.
The game encourages people to have a go and try something new and different.
Home-Ball courts have started being erected in French parks and communal areas to encourage all ages to play. France also has Home-Ball tournaments and championships. Unfortunately, we do not have one of the courts so played a simpler version of the game but with similar rules.
All the children were very supportive of each other, enjoyed playing and applying skills learnt in other sports, especially Netball.
