Active Youth Program!

Yesterday we went to Warrnambool Primary School to participate in an active youth program. The year 6s from Merrivale was there as well as us and Jammo. First we were introduced to olympic and paralympic champions and learnt a bit about them, then we got their autographs on drinkbottles we were given earlier. We got put into groups with the sports we were doing, I was doing table tennis and my olympians were Sarah and Russel. Once our groups were together we hopped on a bus to go to the table tennis stadium. When we got there we learnt tips about table tennis and learnt more about Russel and Sarah. I learnt thatRussel was ranked in the top 200 table tennis players in the world and Sarah was ranked 7th in the world!! Once we finished that we got to play some games of table tennis, I think I did pretty well. Towards the end some people got picked to verse Sarah at a game of table tennis. Sam from jammo, Ben and I got picked to verse her. Out of everyone who versed her I was the only one who got a point!!! After our activities had finished we went back to Warrnambool Primary to get put into different groups and go to a different activity.  First we did table tennis and I got my photo taken to go in the paper then we did volleyball then we did basketball then athletics (we got rained on) then finally we did badminton. I learnt a lot and I really enjoyed it!!!! 🙂
