How we are doing
Hi all, it has been a while since I last posted an update on how the club is getting on. We have now had nine training sessions and everyone is pretty confident in what they are doing. The equipment provided by Portal, a local company, which include soft javelins, shot putts, hurdles and such like has proved a success and a great addition to the jogscotland programme.
Our coaches and the kids have become familiar with the trainging packs and found which games are suitable for their specific age groups. The Beagles, who are our primary 1 & 2 team have settled well together and are making new friends whilst having fun. Their favourite games are tunnel tig, dodge ball and the classic 'duck duck goose'. The Terriers (primary 3 & 4) and the Hounds (primary 5, 6, &7) have been training together, again forming new friendships.
The hour sessions go in fast and the coaches bring their own interpretation of the games to their teams, whilst also having the structure of the packs.
The older teams have completed assesments and will be assessed again in the New Year, hopefully showing some improvement in their stamina and fitness.
The club has not advertised beyond an initial evaluation which was conducted earlier this year. We have full membership and now that its settled down we will be advertising places for the kids in the area.
This is the first Junior jogscotland club of it's kind and its continued success is based on it being a Community Club with support from those who live and operate in the Community.
We are a community getting our kids running.
We hope to have some pics and a video on the jogscotland site soon.
