Ahtletikidz Holiday Athletics Clinic (Grand Finale)

It's sad but it's true. Today was the last day of the Athletikidz Holiday Clinic. And what a wonderful week it was. We had lots of fun but we also learned a lot. We learned the basics of Javelin, Sprinting, High jumping, Throwing and Hurdles. And today was our final day. D-day. We kept it a secret for the kids and told them that it was a secret mission. And today it was finally there. 

When everybody arrived we had some awards for the kids. We had awards for best performance boy and girl. After the pre awards show it was time to start our secret program. We explained to everybody that the horrible planet of Pluto invaded planet Disney. And all the teams have to work together in order to safe as many people. First everybody had to paint his or her team in original team colors. We gave every team 5 minutes to get everybody painted. When everybody had his war paint on it was time to travel towards planet Disney. The kids had to save as many people (balloons) as possible from their shelter. But in order to get their they had to put on a parachute and jump out of the plain. When they arrived at the save shelter they had to take the wounded and bring them back save. Their journey took them through a obstacle course. During the course that had to crawl under high voltage wires (rope), jump over a lava pit, crouch through a tunnel (boxes), throw a Javelin to secure the area, jump over bombed cards (hurdles) and walk over the bridge of doom. And during this exciting course that had to keep their wounded one alive. After this fantastic start we had our daily vitamin brake and after the brake it was time for our second secret mission in order to help the people from planet Disney.

Now that all the people have been saved they need a shelter. And the kids had to collect clues in order to build those shelters. The clues were hidden al over the False Bay sport complex. With google maps pictures the kids got information where the clues were buried. The team that collected all of the clue' the quickest could start to build their shelter and got bonus points. At the end all the shelters looked really cool so BIG bonus points for everybody. 

Now that the week is over, all the coaches are really sad. We hope that all the kids had a lovely week. We had a great time with all the kids and we really hope to do it all over again next year. 

Thanks everybody for the wonderful week
