PREPARATORY SCHOOL flipping over flippaball During the summer sport period of Term 4, 2019 and Term 1, 2020, Flippaball came to the Preparatory School, providing an opportunity for our girls and boys in Years 4-6 to participate in modified games related to water polo and safety in water. It also provided an opportunity for our students who were interested in playing water polo at the school, to come and give Flippaball a go. Flippaball is a water-based team sport, offering fun and a social introduction to water polo. Modified games are designed to incorporate a fun way of learning the basic skills in water polo. Chariot races, slam dunking, swimming races, egg beating and blocking goals were all part of the fun during our hourly session. All going well, Flippaball will return to the Preparatory School in Term 4. If you would like further information on Flippaball in the Preparatory School, please contact Ms Sherrie Errington at [email protected]. 34
