Great to be back for the start of a new term at EFSC

Firstly, apologies for club being cancelled last week. Ollie and myself were both away and Alan had a bereavement in the family. The post below was drafted on the 6th after our first session back but I could not post it before I went on holiday as I needed permission for some of the photos. As it happened, those photos can not be published so I have had to delete a few of them.

It was great to welcome everyone back after the summer break for the start of a new term at Sportability Club here at Oak View School. This year will mark 20 years since the club started back in 2005 and we hope the year provides as much excitement and fun as always!
We started with a session of Hockey, after a warm up led by Coach Ray. Each child grabbed a plastic hockey stick and tennis ball and started off with just dribbling around the playground. Ollie then led a game of traffic lights which helped the kids with their ball control. Lastly, they dribbled their tennis balls around a series of cones before shooting at a goal.

The kids then paired up before the break to do passing in pairs, in between cones. After the break the group split in to two teams, the yellows and the blues, to put all that practice to good use in a game. The yellows were victorious with a 6-3 scoreline.

We finished off the session with a few quick games of Boccia back in the hall. The group split in two and sat facing each other at either end of the hall. We started with 7 hoops in the middle to aim for and the blue team won that game. The next game there was just three hoops to aim for so much harder. The blue team smashed that game with eight shots in the hoop from 13 shots, to the red team's four. The next game had two hoops with each team aiming for their own coloured hoop - again the blue team won!

Our stars of the week were Theo and a new girl called Mary who was really enthusiastic and athletic - well done to both! See you all again at our next session.

Theo was very happy with his Star of the Week award
