We all enjoyed some great Tennis fun this week at EFSC

The sun was out, we had a great turnout and it was great to see an old member return as we played some great Tennis this week at Sportability Club.
We were straight out on to the playground to make the most of the good whether this week and Ray led us all in a warm up to get us going.
The kids then grabbed a Tennis racket and ball each to practice things like balancing the ball while on the move; bouncing the ball up and down on the racket as they moved and also bouncing the ball between ground and racket.

After a quick break to hydrate we then split in to four small teams for some goes at Build a Burger where the kids have to balance tennis balls between a growing pile of tennis rackets as they make their way up and down the playground. Taking it slow and steady was best and it takes a lot of concentration for it not to collapse, especially once you get past two layers.

We then moved on to playing some games of King of the Court. This is a last person standing game where the aim is to return a tennis ball back over the net and in to the court without being caught out. Manage that and you are through to the next round. Get caught or fail to hit the ball back over the net and land it in the court then you join the catching team. Todd won the first two games and was doing well in the last game until a great catch by Pranav got him out. It was Theo who won the last game.

We finished off the last 20 minutes with a quick game of Handball with the group splitting in to two teams. 
It was a great, busy, noisy but fun session and lovely to be out in some glorious sunshine!
It was also fantastic to welcome Theo back after a six year absence. He has certainly grown and he seemed to have a great time!

Our Stars of the Week this week were Charlotte and Anand who both did really well in the Tennis with hitting, balancing and catching. Well done to you both!
We hope to see you all back next week when hopefully the weather will be good once more.
