Homework: Physical Education and the Outdoors.

I am competing in the AIMS Basketball training, which we go through intense fitness trainings over the weeks. I will be recording what we do for the next weeks until our special week comes up.

Term 3, Week Two

This week, we did fitness tests and training. While two of us were completing in a push up-step-shoot-run and repeat, the rest of us had to continue with conditioning such as 2 minutes worth of planking or 20 press ups, etc. The game we continued with, there was a suction cup sort of pop-up pop-down item. We had to start out with two press ups, then we had to step and shoot. After that, we had to run to the opposite side of the court and come back. Next, we had to do three press ups, four press ups etc.

Term 3, Week Three
I wasn't allowed to do much this week as I had an important tournament in the weekend. The team participated in normal training with a lot of fitness and a lot of running. I practised my shooting.

Term 3, Week Four

Our coach Greg was back, so we ran through our normal drills. 

Term 3, Week Five

We went over a new drill which is called a press break. It is called Blue.

Term 3, Week Six

We had a 5 hour AIMS training due to needing to go over everything before the big week.

Term 3, Week 7

We didn't do any hard work, we went over our goals and went through post offensive stuff.
