The session last Saturday (24th) was based around Volleyball but we had some other great activities too. After the warm up led by Ray we played some Parachute games which the kids always love. We then played some games of Rob the Nest but rather than using Rugby balls we used tennis balls instead. We split in to four small groups and the aim was to have the most balls in your nest at the end of each game. After a drinks break we moved on to Volleyball. We split in to three groups and started by throwing the ball over the bench to teammates on the other side. They would catch the ball and throw it back. That moved on to hitting the ball back and that built up over time to try and get a rally going. We then moved on to playing small sided games with the benches across the middle of the hall being the net. Three teams took it in turns to play each other. We finished off with a couple of quick games of Benchball with the group splitting in to two teams rather than three. Our stars of the week this week were Harry and Hal so congrats to both of you!. We also had another birthday so we all sang Happy Birthday to Pranav at the end of the session. Now that it is half term there is no club this coming Saturday (31st May) but we will back raring to go on June 7th. Have a restful week and see you all again on the 7th.
Better late than never but here are all the photos taken from the session on Saturday 17th May. It was a session based around basketball with skills practice in the hall to start with before going outisde after the break to play some games. Our stars of the week were Charlotte and Ellis so well done to you both. Also, it was Anand's birthday and as per tradition he brought in a wonderful birthday cake. Happy Birthday Anand!
It was a glorious day on Saturday so it was lovely to get out on to the playground to have a session based around Cricket. We were without Coach Alan so Ray led the session with the help of the birthday boy - Ollie. We started off with the usual warm up of jogging, skipping and stretches then we paired up for some throwing and catching practice. First it was just throwing and catching but then involved a bounce pass trying to hit a plastic disk set in-between each pair. After a quick water break we moved on to some fielding practice using cones and splitting in to four groups. Then that developed in to throwing at the wickets, wicketkeeping and finally batting practice. After the main break we split in to two teams for some games of three tee cricket. This is where the batting team each have a turn to hit three tennis balls off of three plastic tees. The fielding team cant move until the final ball is hit but they then have to get the balls back on the tees in their original positions as quickly as possible. The batter meanwhile will try and get as many runs as possible by running between two wickets and only stops when all the balls and tees are back in position. Each person has one turn at batting and the scores and then totalled before the teams switch over so the fielding team get a chance to bat. There were two main games that were fiercely contested but I am glad to report each team won one game apiece. At the end of the session Ollie present the star of the week awards to Kerrie and Joseph before we all sang Happy Birthday to Ollie. Join us again next week for more fun and another birthday celebration!
Last Saturday's session was based around Rugby. The group did ball skills, passing to each other and passing in a circle before the break. Then after, it was more ball skills then a rugby non contact team game. The star of the week awards went to Liam and Anand pictured below with Coach Alan.  |
