To further supplement their development in becoming skilful rounders players, Year 6 practiced their fielding skills today focusing mainly on throwing, catching and tactical play. Starting with some fun games to stress the importance of rapid throwing and catching to beat running players, the children quickly moved onto improving their long range throwing and catching.
Practising these skills in isolation is important but nothing compares to putting these skills under pressure in small game situation. Safe to say, the practice beforehand made the small games even more competitive. Now, Year 6 will look to improve their skills with a bat! Well done all!
