After a while they were asked to keep to bouncing on the lines on the floor only, for added control. From there they formed a large circle and began passing the ball around the circle.

They split in to four equal groups and took it in turns to dribble the ball up and down the hall, around the cones.

The first game was won by the yellow team by 4 goals to 2 against the green team. Next up was the blue team to take on the yellow team. In this match the blue team were victorious in a close game but a massive score of 6 goals to 5. The last game saw the blue team take on the green team. It ended up 4 to 2 goals for the green team meaning each team won one game each.</div>  <div><div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div> <div id='945793392581435636-slideshow'></div> <div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph">We finished off the session with a couple of quick games of Boccia.
