Aussie Rules

Do you know what Aussie rules is? Aussie rules is a sport that Australian people play. I’ve never heard of Aussie rules until the 1st of September 2011. Megan is the lady name who came to teach us. Aussie rules is when some one comes to teach you about the sport (AFL) Australian Football League.
The skills we learnt first was the drop punt. The skill was a kick. The name of the kick was drop punt (as you may know), it is similar to a drop kick but you don’t drop the ball and kick. The AFL rules for kicking is quite different to how New Zealanders would kick a ball. When we got a AFL ball the first thing Megan told us was that you had to keep the laces away from you and kick the ball. We went away with a buddy kicking each other, suddenly I heard a whistle been blown and saw some kids running to Megan. Then she taught us a new strategy to go with the first one. The strategy was not to have muddy toes, muddy toes means that you flick mud at your partner (not literally). So we went off in our pears and My partner De’vyne and I did really well.
This the first time I’ve ever heard of Aussie rules and It is awesome. I didn’t know that Aussie rules existed until about a week ago and it was a sport I’ve never played or learnt before in my life. I like my school because we have the opportunity to play a lot of different sports with the your friends and teachers. Learning Aussie rules is different for me because the sport has different rules to rugby and league.
My favourite part of Aussie rules is the part when we get to play with the balls and play with our partner. Also getting to throw a ball at our teachers and coaches at the end of the first session. You should try it out if you can because it is fun!
