Basketball

It is a lovely sunny day. Peppa and her friends are in the school playground. Children, today we have a special person coming to teach you basketball. Woo! Hello! Daddy, it isn’t home time yet! We’ve got a special teacher coming today. That’s me. I’m the coach.

A basketball teacher is called a coach. Woo! That’s clever, Daddy. Peppa, call me Coach! OK, Daddy Coach. Does anyone know how to play basketball? No!

It’s fun. You have to run, bounce the ball, and throw it through the hoop. Wow! Easy peasy!Oh! It is not as easy as it looks. To play basketball, you need to train hard and keep fit. Are you fit, Daddy Coach? Yes, I’m super fit. But Daddy Coach, you’ve got a big tummy. This tummy is pure muscle.

First, I’ll teach you how to get the ball from here…to here. I can do that. No, Danny, you can’t use your feet. That’s football. Danny dog likes football. In basketball, you bounce the ball with your hands, like this. Who wants a go? Me, me, me!

Susie Sheep is bouncing the basketball very carefully. Well done, Susie. Now, everyone try. Everyone is learning how to bounce the ball.
