Ines was practising her German down at the German Embassy School late last week where she was teaching the school children a thing or two about bike polo.

It was nice getting out of the office and down to the courts getting young children passionate about a sport that is so dear to Natookes heart. But before everyone headed on to the field for a bash around the basics needed to be learnt and the students had to first get used to riding around one handed with the other holding a mallet. This wasn’t as easy as first thought but soon the ball was added and things were taken up a notch. As the week went on the competition heated up with everyone becoming decidedly more aggresive in their playing style.

Underneath it all though was a sense of enjoyement and fun as everyone there was just starting out and learning the ropes.

The week culminated in a performance by those students involved in the training. Playing a match infront of the German Embassy School for parents, teachers, and students alike to show off their new found skills and to hopefully get others interested in the great sport that is bike polo!
