The training


Xisong Petanque Team usually practices in morning self-study section and lunch break. The practice is paused during examination period. The practice is in the petanque court of sports field in a sunny day while it is changed to be in the passage by using the soft petanque in a rainy day.  

In the beginning, they pulled away the canvas cover on the petanque court. The canvas cover is used to avoid any damage during class breaks, since many lower graders like to pick up little stones from petanque court to play. Next, they warmed up their wrists and feet, and then started to practice on throwing the petanque ball. The drop point should be as close as possible to the target object. After the practice, the coach asked them to proceed on 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 games to train them the sense of immediacy, and to teach them how to win by using strategies.
