Go, Go, Go, Players!

Thursday (04/06/2009)

a) The Athlete Number
l The kids searched for theirs and I helped them to pin.
l Some wore numbered jersey or t-shirt. Thus, we pinned only the back. They were excited about it.
l We talked about yesterday’s competition. Some kids could not recognize their teammates. Thus, Foo Soon suggested that we wrap a wrist band but I propose a head band because they can see better.
l There was only a red cloth available. The Thunderstorm who behaved better manages to get the red strips of head band. I tied around their heads.
l The kids decided that they want to invite their schoolmates to watch their performance. Thus, we have to improve our skills as well as enhance our Cheerleaders’ skills.

b) 2 cheers.
l Justin wore a nice t-shirt that has got 4 different balls. The rugby, the football, the basketball and the golf. The first 3 games have their cheerleaders performance.
l Cheerleaders have 2 different performances. One is while the players are playing and a major one while the players are having their break.
l I showed the girls a video clip of cheerleading by Primary Students.
l Thus, we tried our own performance to the song of “I Feel Good”.
l Meanwhile, the boys observed them and drew their pictures. Some even labeled their friends’ names.
l We did 3 rounds.

c) Basketball Competition
l I brought down the radio for the cheerleading activity.
l Today, the players were better as they could see who they are throwing the ball. Less foul, thus; less free throws.
l Our promising players include Foo Soon who could jump high, Yun Zhe who could catch well, Eugene who could bounce well, Song Chuan who could grab the ball fast, Jien Wei who could block the opponent well, Max who tried his best at guarding the hoop, Jin Shan who played determinedly, Justin who enjoyed every moment and Ze Yan who played well too.
l The Cheerleaders were more consistent and independent. During the 5 minutes break, I guded them for the Cheerleading performance. It was fun!
l Today’s score: Thunderstorm vs. Twister; 1-2.
