We had a really good turnout this week at Epping Forest Sportability Club and some good weather too. We started outside on the playground with a warm up led by Ray. We then moved back in to the school hall for some Basketball skills practice. That started with each child grabbing a ball and dribbling around the hall. We followed that by dribbling the ball along the lines on the hall floor. We then practiced bouncing and controlling the ball both low and high before dribbling around cones. We finished off the skills practice by passing across a circle. We then put all that practice to good use in some 1 on 1 games. The coaches would call up two equally matched children at a time. On the word go they would run to the far end of the hall where Ollie was waiting to throw the ball in to play. The kids would then try and be first to the ball to dribble it back down the hall and shoot at the basket. The first child to score a basket wins the duel. After the main break we split the group in to three teams for some games of Benchball. There were three games with each team playing the other two teams in turn. We finished off the session with some more leisurely games of Boccia. This time the group split in to two teams and competed from opposite ends of the hall to see who could get the most balls in to the hoops. As the games went on the number of hoops to aim for reduced meaning a good aim as well as ball speed became increasing more important. At the end of the session our Star of the Week awards went to Sonny and Ellis. Well done boys! Join us again next week for our last session before the Easter break. Comments are closed.
