Quarter Four

The final sport that we did was basketball. Basketball is a very productive sport that requires a plethora of endurance and muscle strength in order to play the game correctly. Each team should be equivalent to about 6-8 players with about two supporters, two attackers, and two net defenders. The supporters and the attackers try to go through the opponent's defense in order to score a shot. This sport is very entertaining to watch and very exciting to play either when you are alone or with a group.

The purpose of performing basketball was to understand the main points and rules of the game and then apply them to a game. Basketball in particular is a sport that requires keen concentration and focus, and if you lack that, you mess it up for the whole team.

While we were playing basketball I learned how to properly dribble a ball while running,which is important in an actual game because you could a dribbling mistake while running causing you to fall. Another important concept was to understand what traveling is and how your steps and moves need to be carefully thought out before you actually preform them. Teamwork is also important because without it the team cannot function.

I could have learned differently if paid more attention to the rules and concepts of the game rather than just playing it according to my head. It was always hard for me tell where the positions of the players should usually be, which caused confused for me so I could have learned differently by understanding where each player is supposed to and what that player does for the team.

Quarter Two

The second sport that we did this year was soccer. This sport is performed with about ten players each team. Each team also has players with different positions such as attacker, midfielder, or defense. A regular soccer game lasts about 90 minutes and through the whole game it is refereed by three people. If a person does more than 2 fouls, he/she is kicked out of the rest of the game. Overall, soccer is very exciting to play and it the key to playing this game successfully is through teamwork, effort, and keen concentration.

The purpose of soccer was to learn how to use teamwork and to require the basics of the game by playing it each year. Another purpose would be to improve our running because soccer is on of the most productive sports that require a lot of energy and leg endurance in order to play successfully.

I enjoy playing soccer but I never really learned the essential way of the rules like passing, attacking to get to your opponent’s goal post and so on. Soccer tryouts also helped me a great deal because it gave me more muscle endurance and learn the basics of soccer and how to be a better goalie. Playing soccer numerous times over the week helped me forget the pain that happens from soccer and it also helped to lessen the pain at the same time.

Unfortunately I had to drop out of soccer, so I could have learned differently if continued playing soccer and mastered the basic skills more and that would have allowed to have a more clear understanding on how to efficiently pass a ball and guard a goal post. Another way I could have learned differently was that gave more effort during after school soccer and to apply what I learned at after school soccer into P.E. soccer.

Quarter Three

In quarter three, we played badminton. Badminton is a two-four player game using a shuttle cock for a ball. In order to score a point on the other player or team, you must hit the shuttle into an area that is after the server line and before the outline and the cannot reach. Rules are different according to what type of game you are playing, one vs. one or two vs. two. Overall, badminton is a very quick sport that requires concentration and effort in order to get the score you want.

The purpose of learning badminton was to understand how to play the sport and know its rules, and then we would use the knowledge we have learned and put it into a game. Badminton is also the only racket sport we do over the year, so it is important that we play it each year. Another purpose is that it helps refresh on how we played from the previous year and helps us play with different people and that helps us improve.

Playing Badminton for the second time helped me to master the basic skills of the game, and at the same time I enjoyed it more because I finally learned how to actually play a game without stopping from time to time. Badminton also requires keen concentration and I learned that every time when I played a game. Team work is also important when you are playing a doubles game and it is important to give eye contact and concentration to your opponent.

I could have learned differently if I performed better during a game and improved my serving skills. I also could have learned differently if I played with different people and with the P.E. teacher to see how fast a game could actually be.

Quarter One

The first sport that we took during Physical Education was Volleyball. In order to play a game of Volleyball, there must be two teams with six people in each team and the two teams are separated by a net. Through specific rules, each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team’s court. In general, their are six different positions that a player can have; right back, right front, middle front, left front, left back, and middle back and they are all responsible for a certain role in the game from attack to defend.

The purpose of performing volleyball was to remember how to play the sport from last year and to recall how it felt to play volleyball. Another reason was that new students could learn about the basics of volleyball and to know how to play with a new group. In Volleyball, it is important to know which type of serve is best for you, which was the purpose of practicing and acquiring the sport more.

I learned many things while playing volleyball. At first, serving a ball was a hard thing for me to accomplish, but when I learned different strategies on how to serve a ball; it was easier to choose which tactic best fits me. Playing volleyball during P.E. also helped me when I played volleyball during lunch R and R because it helped explain to me were each player is supposed to be and what they do.
I could have learned differently if I paid more attention to how the game is played, particularly on how to serve, and how I affect the team when I do not know how to play as well as my team does. I did not really remember what I actually did in volleyball the previous year and because of that I had a hard time acquiring and understanding the basics.

If my goal was attention, then I would have applied to this sport. I did not really give all of my full effort when it came to volleyball and therefore it was hard for me to play. I also would have wanted to pay more attention from the previous year and to have preformed as best as I could so I perform better the next time I play.
