Exactly 5 minutes later we had a stunning group of more than 70 kids, most of them around 13-14 years. We were happy to have Aldar waving at them before we started to play. First exhibition we lost 3-1, we knew that next time we should train more and had to ask Hungry Jack Daniels to show us some core stability exercises. In stead of korfball we were shown a good game of Aussie rule fast4 Korfball.
At the beginning, the kids came in looking very bored, but once we showed them our balls, they exploded. So much effort, skilled players, girls, boys, full of emotion and scoring potential. We all were amazed! They played one on one, two on two and four on four at the end. They really enjoyed it, even two teachers played like they were enjoying the korf fun more than we did!
At lunchtime we were absorbing the nice warm winter sun of Victoria. A proper coffee and a local Australian pie for our police officer.
Quickly back for our second clinic. Same enthousiastic bunch of kids, although quickly one of us male players lost a ball, we still enjoyed the clinic as much as the children did. In a multi-culti group we gained so much experience in Aussie rules that probably the main part of our players next season will excell in more sports than korfball alone. Teachers wanted us to give more info on the sport, Jess probably will be able to organise this school year a tournament on Fast4 Korfball, so a big hand for Melton today.
Returning to Taylors Hill with the pack, not able to relax, so after tabletennis (Crawling Casper vs Aldaar Aldar), short poolmatch between Jack Daniels and Edlose and a play of poker, we had a decent Dutch Australian meat wrapmeal from one of the best, probably the best, chef from Hardenberger!
Life is good Down Under, although some of us were laughing more like a farmer with toothake.
