hmm.. had learning festival today (and tmr)
Learning festival is basically.. no school for 2 days, and students are supposed to sign up for courses such as 'how to bake' and 'learn tennis' and.. 'resume writing' etcetc. Have like 100 over courses i think. Each student has to sign up for 4 courses .
I signed up for Tchoukball, basketball clinic and math trail. Since math trail will be 3 hours it is considered as 2 courses.
okok i know what on earth is Tchoukball you may ask. It's quite hard to explain but i'll try!
it's something like handball.. where you can take 2-3 steps with the ball and you pass to your teammates or shoot. The 'goal' is this trampoline-like net which is angled in such a way that if you face it straight on and throw the ball into it, it bounces back to you.
Ok it's best you watch this video first
dont have to finish it, just watch to see what it's like then read my explanation on how the game works
Similar to handball, there is a restricted zone which no player may enter (like a semicircle around the 'goal') You can jump inside though but must release the ball before you land. A team scores a point if he throws the ball at the trampoline, it bounces OUT of the restricted zone, and touches the floor before the opposing team can catch it.
So for example if i throw the ball at the trampolinegoal thing and it bounces out and the enemy team member catches it before it bounces, it is NOT a point scored.
No interceptions or steals are allowed, the only way for a possession turnover is when i rebound a shot by the opposing team. And there are no fixed sides for scoring, i can score at either side as long as after i start ball i clear the halfway line.
Heh chim?
my first team had 2 basketball guys + alwyn and others, and they were damn irritating can. those 2 guys just kept passing to themselves and shooting by themselves so i didn't touch the ball at all for first 2 games with them in my team -_- asses.
Then the 3rd game teams were switched, and WHEW both of them were not in my team. Was more fun cos i got to touch the ball more. never score anything though. but got save some shots. haha.
after that watched john lijian and his dance group perform.. nice sia! hope someone videoed and will upload.
