Alex S - Polding Sport Leader

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I like playing soccer, video games with my friends, tennis, rugby and sleeping in on weekends and of course, watching the professionals play sport in a stadium. I like these because I can chill out and have fun. Sport is something I’m passionate about.

Do you have any pets, if so, what are they, if not, what is your dream pet?

I don’t have any pets, but my dream pets is either a sausage dog or a turtle, because that would be really cool. I think the reason these would be my dream pets, is because they’re cute, and also, because it would be cool.

What is your favourite school subject and why?

I like school sport as an activity, but for school, I like Mathematics. I like Maths because it’s fun to do, as in I like solving problems, and of course, it challenges my brain. It’s also vital for the future.

What makes you become a Sport Leader?

When I was in Kindy, I wanted to become a Sports Leader. They inspire their team and motivate them to go on. They give positive cheers and In year 6, I want to be a Sport Leader to inspire my team.

If you had the chance, which part of history would you want to change?

I will change that in the past, women got fair treatment of men equally as men because lots of amazing women didn't get a chance to speak up for themselves and show their talent.

If you have $1000, what would you do with it?

I will give the poor country a real soccer ball and donate money to the poor country. I will give them food and clothes and make them have a good life. I will also use this money to inspire more people to reach out and help others. 

Soccer Clinic

Throughout term one Senior School took part in an enjoyable soccer clinic every Tuesday. We had a thrilling experience and took part in the drill and soccer matches. Some of the soccer drills we took part in included the soccer version of Bull-rush, cops and robbers, soccer bowling, and Aus-Tag.

For soccer Bull-rush we had lots of fun running around, trying to keep the soccer balls at our feet without letting the tippers get you. 

For soccer bowling we had six cones and there was a ball on one of the six cones. We had another ball and we were trying to kick the ball to knock the ball off the cone. The first person to knock the ball off and get all their cones stacked won that round. 

After we learnt all these new skills we had a real soccer match. The teams were split evenly into three groups and we played two teams on one field and one team off the field.

We have really enjoyed the clinics and the opportunity to learn more about soccer and fair play.
