Anyone for Cricket?

10/11/2018

 
This weeks session at Epping Forest Sportability was all about Cricket
After a warm up of stretching and the kids favourite tag game - What's the time Mr. Wolf? - it was on to the main sport. They started with some throwing and catching, mainly in pairs. Then it was on to a game of Champions. The kids line up in a row facing Ray in the middle. Ray then throws the tennis ball randomly to the kids in the line. If they catch it they move up the row. If they drop it or fail to catch it then they move down. The kid at the top of the line at the end of the game is the champion. You have to be on your guard though if you are at the top of the line because one dropped catch and you lose your turn and you might not get a chance to get back before the end of the game.
Next it was on to a relay game that involved running around cones but was too complicated for Alan to explain to me but he said it was good! Honest!
Then it was on to some bowling practice. The kids threw underarm at the stumps at the end of the hall. Then it was on to some batting practice, hitting the ball off a tee towards a target which was between two cones.  
After a well deserved break for a drink and snack, the kids put all the things they had practiced to use in a game of three tee cricket. So bowling, batting, catching and throwing. The batter has to hit three balls off of three tees. Once that is done they have to get as many runs as possible between two wickets before the rest of the gang get the three balls and tees back in position. As soon as the last ball is back on the last tee the batter has to stop running and a note is made of the number of runs scored. The kids take it in turn to bat and the one with the most runs at the end is the winner.. It is fast and frenetic with people running everywhere but a whole lot of fun!
The session rounded off with a  fast paced game of Benchball. i.e. more shouting, running, catching, teamwork and excitement! 
At the end of a very busy but enjoyable session Alan and all the coaches conferred and they awarded Pranav the Star of the Week award. Congratulations Pranav - great work! Pranav can be seen pictured with his award with Ollie and also with Teagan & Anand.
The fun didnt stop there for many of the older kids as Zakaa was celebrating his birthday o Saturday afternoon so a lot of them donned their glad rags and went off to his party. I hope they all had a fabulous time and a very happy birthday to Zakaa - one our longest serving members.
See you all again on Saturday for a whole lot more action and fun!
