we get to choose between softball, tennis and hockey. i confirm dun want hockey because it is a very tiring sport. you have to keep bending your body and run like mad. it is not very good for the back. and the stick looks super dangerous too.
so i am left with tennis or softball. tennis is a bit impracticable because most of the schools do not have tennis courts. even if they have there is at most two tennis courts. squeezing a class of 40 students in two tennis courts is crazy.
of course the most favourable choice is softball! softball is a team sport, which emphasize on team work. softball can also be played outdoors or indoors, so even if raining, no problem. although i must admit that i had my fears about softball initially because i joined the softball team when i was in primary sch. but during one of the training sessions when we were practising throwing and catching, it was my turn to catch the ball but i was dreaming, and the ball hit my face. btw the ball used in softball is not soft at all. IT IS VERY VERY VERY HARD. so from that incident onwards i condemn softball. hahahaha.
but during the course of this module, i love softball more and more. it is really fun! i think the kids will like it. i definitely do not regret taking this softball module. and also the lecturer teaching us is a super nice and funny guy. and he is also my practicum supervisor! yes lah!
(this is my lecturer. of course i will not say his name for fear that he will find my blog. haha.)among us we have a super pro softball player. he is in the ntu ivp team. always help us when we have difficulties with the sport, and give us alot of tips to improve. thank you weixiong!
