Fun in the Hot Sun at Sportability Club this week

Firstly, my apologies for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks as I was away. But, it was great to be back on Saturday to catch up with all the gang.
Saturday, as you are no doubt aware, was a scorcher so our whole session was about heat management and trying to stay cool. We did start off with a gentle warm-up on the playground, concentrating more on stretches than jogging and skipping! However, even at that early stage it was clear it was too hot to be outside so the rest of the session was held in the school hall outside of the sun's glare.

​We started off with some Golf putting. We split in to a few small groups and started off trying to get the ball in to a hoop at the other end of the hall. Speed and direction are equally important if you want to get the ball to stay in the hoop.
Next was a game about hitting as many cones as you can with your putts. You collect the cones that you hit and the team with the most cones at the end is the winner. It starts off easy but as more cones are removed and the amount to hit diminishes the harder they are to hit. It was Kerrie's team who came up on top. Our last game before the break saw the group split in two with each group trying to get a put through the legs of all the other team members who are forming a tunnel.

After the break we switched sports to Archery and the group split in two to take turns trying to hit the target and hopefully get a bullseye.
We then finished off with the two groups playing some games of Boccia.

It was a great session overall and we did manage to stay fairly cool despite the heat outside. Our star performers this week were Theo and Swaran - a very well done lads!
Hopefully next week we will be able to get outside on to the playground to have even more fun!
