A great session filled with fun out on the playground on Saturday at EFSC

The weather was very kind to us on Saturday so we were able to be able to out on the playground without getting wet! There was no Alan or Ray so Ollie and Cliff assisted in running the session but it was Kerrie who led the warm up in the hall before we went outside to play some parachute games.

We then moved on to our main sport of Rugby and we started with passing in pairs before adding some moves such as after catching the ball move it around your back before passing back. Then changing it to be move it between your legs.

The fun really started then as we split in to four teams to play some games of Rob the Nest. This is where all the rugby balls start in a hoop in the centre. One member from each team fetches a ball and brings it back to their teams hoop. Once back another team member goes until there are no balls left. This is where the fun really starts because they then start to "rob" balls from other team's hoops. The game can change really quickly and one team can go from having a number of balls to very few if all the other teams target them! So even though one of the teams contained some very fast young lads they kept on losing as  the other teams went for their rugby balls.

The kids had some much fun running around playing the game that we carried on with more games after the break.

We finished off the session, as we often do, by bringing the pace down a bit with some games of Boccia back in the hall. The group split in to two teams at either end of the hall, aiming for hoops in the middle of the hall. As the games went on the number of hoops to aim for reduced. It seemed a very even contest with each  team winning a few games.

It really was a fun session with a lot of laughs as we played the games. At the end we sang Happy Birthday to both Ollie and Anand before Ollie presented the Star of the Week awards to Holly and Ellis. Well done both of you!
We have one more session next Saturday before the half term break so we hope to see as many of you as possible next Saturday!

Ellis is happy to get his Star of the Week awards from Ollie - honest he is!
