session 5

personal outcomes;

1. Keep the session and drills fun
2. Progress from last session by introducing dodging
   
3. To focus and judge the players reaction times
4. Also again progress their ability to be aware of what is around.

The coaching session has alot of information and drills for the children to learn and take in, most of it will jut be increasing the knowledge of the pacific drill they already know like awareness. But there is still alot for the players to take in i set up this session so i can judge their reaction time now so that when it comes to the end of all the sessions i can see how much they have increased in the ability to react to all goings on in the game. The dodging drill is also put there to increase from the last session of attacking the ball so that the players are able to dodge and get away and in front of their opponents so it is easier for them to receive the ball.

'Reaction time is the ability to respond quickly to a stimulus. Simple reaction time is the time taken between a stimulus and movement e.g., sprint start' (Topendsports website, 2000)

It is also said from the sport and science resource that performers receive stimuli from the eyes (position of other players, the ball etc), the ears (calling from players, the referee, even spectators), and kinesthetic sense (the performer's position, their options etc). Skilled players reduce reaction time by selecting the most important information, and by anticipating other players actions and the path of the ball quickly.


The outcome of this session has shown that it was not as difficult for the children to understand the session but it did slightly run over the time limit. The main part was for the children to be able to move forward and dodge the opponents well without any hassle so it would make it easier for them to receive the pass. It is said by Chioma Ezeogu an England netball player that you need to use very quick footwork to trick your opponent into moving one way. It is best to get free by pretending that your going one way by dipping your shoulder and moving your feet but then you instantly turn change direction leading yourself away from the opponent. This is easier to do as the the opponent once being fooled will quickly become off balanced so this gives you the advantage to become ahead of the opponent.
