AFL session 3

Warm up game

The warm up game was called continuous tag. It wasn't a normal game of tag, everyone was in.  So if somebody tags you, you have to bob down. When the person that tagged you gets tagged, you stand back up.

Chest mark

In  AFL they call catching,  marking. The chest mark is basically a catch. First you bring your arms shaped like the number 11. Then you make your arms like a digger. When the person passes the ball to you, you scoop the ball up to your chest. 

High mark

The high mark is also a catch. You basically have your thumb and your index finger shaped like a L. Then you connect you fingers to make a camera. When the person passes it to you, you aim your camera towards the ball, so you can catch the ball .

Spectacular catch

The spectacular catch is when your partner holds the ball in the air with one hand. Then you run and jump and get the ball out of his hand. When you run to get the ball one of your legs gets lifted up in the air so you cannot hit your partner.

Crazy catch

So this game is about catching. You get points for the different kind catches. 1 point is for a normal catch. 2 points is for a high mark catch. 3 points is for a one hand catch .4 points is when you catch the ball behind your back. 5 points is when you catch the ball behind your back with one hand , and finally 10 points is when you catch the ball with one hand  while closing your eyes .
