Celebrating Student Learning 

Year 3 & 4 AFL Sporting School Program

During PE this Term, Year 3 and Year 4 students have been working hard to develop their AFL skills.

For many students at Deer Park West this has been their first opportunity to play AFL, as they have only seen it on TV before. Students were very excited in PE lessons as they have had the opportunity for AFL coaches to run skill sessions with them.

AFL coaches have helped Year 3 and 4 students develop the following AFL skills this term:

· Handballing- (ice-cream scoop technique)

· Punting- (laces at faces)

· Marking (overhead, chest and side to side)

· Goal kicking games- collect the coins

· Relay games- handball elimination

· Warm up games such as “Footy Salad’ and ‘Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards’.
