All things Cricket this week @ EFSC

 We had a fantastic session based around cricket last Saturday at Sportability Club. The weather was  good so we were all outside on the playground where Kerrie led the warm up.
We started the cricket with some simple throwing and catching of a tennis ball, in pairs. We then did some running up and down the playground including sideways jumps over the marker at the end. We did bounce passes in pairs with a ball as well.

One of the fielding practice drills included picking up a ball from a tee, moving it on to the next tee, running around the stumps then moving the ball back, on the way back to the start.Throwing and catching, in pairs, around stumps, at stumps. 
We then did some batting practice drills as well.
​

We then put all the practice to good use in some games of Three Tee Cricket. We split the group in to four teams and the played a round robin so each team played each other. One game was in the school hall while the other was on the playground.​

At the end of a great session Alan had the hard task of picking the Star of the week award winners. He chose Harry and Kerrie - well done both of you for your great efforts.

We also did a World Cup Sweepstake just for fun with each child getting two teams each. Those absent got a team as well as did the coaching staff. Liam managed to get one of the top rated teams (France) as well as the bottom one (New Zealand). Joseph got Brazil, Kerrie got Argentina and Anand got England. See a member of staff if you want to know which team(s) you have, We will come up with a small prize for the eventual winner.
Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you all again next Saturday.
