The Dodgeball tournament was another house competition which was held at my school. It was a tournament between both of the Sixth Form years so that we could socialise together and integrate with each other. First there were matches against each team. The winners of these then went into the semi finals, and the winners of these to the finals and throughout the competition each game won would win a certain amount of house points for the team. This was useful for CAS because increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth in the sport of dodgeball. I worked collaboratively with other people from my year and from the year below. I also consider the ethical implications of my actions so as to not hurt anybody and to have friendly games. I developed new skills for playing dodgeball and became a thinker, a communicator, principled, open-minded, caring, a risk-taker, balanced, reflective.
This was a challenge for me because I had not played Dodgeball competitively ever before and it was quite challenging physically. In addition, playing with people who I did not know made it more difficult, however using sport as a form of integrating the new year with ours made it easier to get to know each other.
My aims were to win as many games and house points as possible, however I was also aiming to get to know people from the year below and form new friendships.
This activity is Action because dodgeball is a sport and despite being very fun and enjoyable, it was very strenuous and there was a real sense of competitiveness too.
The result was amazing! I managed to get to the semi-finals with my team and we had so much fun in the process and make a ton of friends! It was very good sport and very hardcore cramp pains that followed to prove it.
