Tchoukball lesson

Today, I had my first tchoukball lesson during my PE lesson. To me, tchoukball was a foreign sport, one that i had never heard of before, thus when I heard that we were going to learn tchoukball, i was extremely excited and could not wait to learn it.
The lesson started with a warm up consisting us using the ball to hit a bouncy net. We had to catch the ball bouncing off the net. The ball was a light ball and had patterns on it similar to flower petals. My class had been broken up into two and one part of the class, me included, went to the football court at the JC. The oonly class apart from us which were there were the ispark pupils from 1i2.
                                                                                                                After the warmup, we had a game.The Ispark students were leading by the first half of the game with a score of 3:1, however, my team fought back and managed to get the score to a score of 10:10.It was a sudden death game now. The Ispark class started first, they were about to see thier ball land when my teammate caught the ball and shot it towards the net.I watched with bated breath as the ball soared through the air, before missing the net and scoring a foul. My class lost to the ispark class with a score of 10:11

P.s:some info on tchoukball
Tchoukball (pronounced chukeball) is an indoor team sport developed in the 1970s by Swiss biologist Hermann Brandt, who believed that "The objective of all physical activities is not to make champions, but make a contribution to building a harmonious society". His aim was to develop a team sport which did not involve the horrific injuries which he viewed as plaguing other sports.
The sport is played on an indoor court measuring forty metres by twenty metres (130 feet x 65 feet). At each end there is a 'frame' (a device similar to a trampoline off which the ball bounces) which measures one square metre and a semicircular 'D' measuring three metres (10 feet) out from the frame in all directions. Each team can score on both ends on the field, and comprises twelve players, of which nine may be on the court at any one time. In order to score a point, the ball must be thrown by an attacking player, hit the frame and bounce outside the 'D' without being caught by the defending team. Physical contact is prohibited, and defenders may not attempt to intercept the attacking team's passes. Players may take three steps with the ball, hold the ball for a maximum of three seconds, and teams may not pass the ball more than three times before shooting at the frame.
Tchoukball has come to be an international sport, played in Taiwan, Great Britain, Switzerland, India, Japan, Canada, the United States, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore. It is governed by the Féderation Internationale de Tchoukball (FITB, founded in 1971).
