Once again a sunny day, just the perfect weather to carry out our basketball training with St Barnabas society and home. Game On core members arrived early to explain the rundown to the volunteers.
After the participants and parents arrived, they started to warm-up—the most important procedure. Then the coaches briefly introduced themselves once again to the new participants.
Firstly, the coaches arranged a partner for everyone one of the kid needs to raise a number randomly, then their partner has to read out the number whilst dribbling.
Secondly, our core members set up some cones and split everyone into two groups. Each group would have to dribble as fast as possible to collect a cone and bring it back to their team. This game was to train their team spirit, the members really hope that everyone can work as a team since team spirit is a very important factor in basketball.
After a water break, the coaches decided to teach them a new skill- layup. The kids quickly mastered the skill and could score easily in the games.
They enjoyed the layup competition the most, they were very happy but tired, all of them were sweating like a waterfall.
Lastly, they had a cooldown, they stretched their hands and legs to avoid having cramps. All the happy time has past so quickly! The kids went home happily and were all looking forward to participate in next lesson.
Game on core members improved a lot - time management : last time they didn’t manage the time well, so they assigned one of the members to bring a watch to look at the time. Also, they managed the kids better than last time, the kids did not listen well to the coaches. But this time, the kids were very concentrated when the coach was speaking!
