We had a really good turn out this week which made for a fun and enjoyable session. The main sport we played was basketball but we started, as always, with a warm up which was led by Ray. Once the warm up was complete the kids grabbed a basketball each and began by dribbling around the hall. 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. As it got going a second then third ball was added in, to keep the kids alert and to encourage catching and passing. Then they dribbled and passed the ball to a person of their choosing on the opposite side of the circle. The coached then laid out some cones for the kids to dribble around. They split in to four equal groups and took it in turns to dribble the ball up and down the hall, around the cones. That progressed to moving the ball around the body when they reached the top of the hall. After the main break we progressed to some shooting practice. We finished the session off with a few quick games of benchball - the group split in to three teams and each played the other two teams. At the end of the session the coaches awarded the Star of the Week awards to Joseph and Shah - well done to you both! Join us again next week for a different sport but lots more fun!
It was great to be back at Sportability Club and to see everyone after the Christmas break. Some much needed exercise as well to work off some of those chocolates and mince pies. Alan led the warm up before we started on the main sport of Hockey. As always, the first part of the session is about skills practice and that included dribbling with a ball, following the lines, a traffic light game, passing in pairs and shooting practice After the main break we split the group in to three small teams for some round robin games of Hockey so each team played the other two teams. We finished off the session with a game of Benchball with the group splitting in to two teams. It was great to be back and burning off some energy while having fun. Our Star performers were Theo and Kerrie so congrats to you both for all your efforts. Join us again next week for more fun and games where we will be playing a different sport.
