Today was another day to introduce football to students at the Fe y Alegria. Today I had the help of my partner D.J and we split the class into two. DJ instructed the boys and I instructed the girls on how to play. The boys were able to grasp the concept of the game pretty quickly and quickly became acclimated to the sport. I intended for the game to be two hand touch, however the students soon began to tackle each other and I became worried that someone would get hurt with each play.
Mean while I tried to explain the game to the girls however it a little bit more time. They eventually got the concept and enjoyed themselves by simply passing the ball around and running from each other. The girls stopped playing after about 30 minutes and then the instructor opened the entire soccer field for the boys. They invited me and we played football for about 30 more minutes. Each and every student had a good time and enjoyed themselves and seemed to embrace the new sport that they learned.
The Instructor Louis Humberto was also grateful for showing the students how to play football. At this point this has been my best day at Fe y Alegria 17.
