No jet leg today, just woke up early and counted the white spots on the ceiling. Funny to be in Australia and feel the cold around you. Flying parrots, Kakadu's and banana trees surrounding by Dutch clouds and Amsterdam korfball players. A tree, a corner, rose and fox. Almost not to compare with the names of Tsybyktarov and McNamara.
Well the Tuesday stood fir a visit at Bacchus Marsh. A small urban area approximately 25 km from Tailors hill, named after Englishman Captain William Henry Bacchus.
This area is full of orchards, apples, pears but also the region where various vegetables are grown and sold on the market.
We started our clinic this morning at the Bacchus March college. The first class consisted about approximate 22 kids, in the age of 13 years. They started to play a mixed game where most players showed there skills. A nice and fast learning group, really enjoying themselves. But not only the kids but also our group enjoyed the positive attitude we felt.
After we grab a small bite at the school canteen we met with the second group. Consisting of two classes with young adult individuas. Pretty much no korfball experience but a lot of netball players. Starting almost immediately with a practise match between Europe and Australia followed by a couple of small exercises. Within 30 minutes we managed to let them play korfball where they used space and time, scored multiple times through girls and boys and even outshooted some of the regular players here.
A lot of fun, many laughs and loads of enthousiastic kids. Would be great if we can do follow-ups and were witness today of a bright new start of korfball in Bachhus March.
