We had a great turnout this week for our last session before the half term break. We also welcomed back Coach Ray who was been away in France for the last month. It was all change as Ollie was back this week but it was Alan's turn for some time off. Ray led the warm up which was much needed on a chilly morning. The main sport was Hockey and I managed to take a few photos before I too had to leave early. We started by grabbing a hockey stick and tennis ball each and pratcising dribbling the ball around the hall, keeping the ball in close control at all times. Valentina then led a traffic light game - stop and go and moving the ball from side to side on an amber light. Ray had us then pair up to pass across the hall to each other, ensuring we controlled the ball first then passed making sure both direction and speed of pass were correct. After a quick drinks break he changed it up by grouping pairs together to form a square and so we passed the ball around the square. Our star performers this week were Charlotte and Hal so well done to you both! As it is Half term this week there is NO club next Saturday (22nd Feb) but we will back on Saturday 1st at the normal time. We look forwards to seeing you all then.
Basketball was the main sport this week at Sportability Club. We had a good turnout on a very wintery morning and everyone got stuck in in what turned out to be a very enjoyable session. We were without Ray and Ollie this week so Alan led the warm up and then it was out with the basketballs for some skills practice. We started with just dribbling the ball around the hall. Alan then added some pairs of cones which acted as "gates" to dribble through. Next up was dribbling down the hall around a slalom course of cones and returning before passing to the next person in the term. Then Alan added some shooting practice to the end of each run by placing the small basketball nets at the end of the slalom run. After the break we played some small sided games with the group breaking up in to three teams. The first game the blue team won by four to two against the yellow team. The blue team stayed on to play the green team but ended up losing 6-2. The last game was the green team against the yellows and it was the green team that came out on top by a scoreline of 5-2. We finished off the session with some games of Benchball. The group split in to teams this time and it was the team without bibs that won both games against those with blue bibs. It was an enjoyable and active session and at the end Alan awarded the Star of the Week awards to Hal and Harry. Well done boys - well deserved! Next week is our last session before we have a week off for half term so make sure you join us to get your weekly activity fix!
