Young students, new sports

One of the Extraordinary Leadership Journey’s institutions is the Tuesday afternoon games session. A past participant instituted a Sports Day. This time around, two new sports were introduced.
Shirley introduced the school to netball. A few of the girls had played netball at primary school, and the others picked it up really fast, resulting a 4-4 tie between the teams.
Keith introduced the boys to rugby.
Many of them were initially sceptical, wondering why they could not play football, but by the end of the session they had become converts. Keith wonders whether some of them could become candidates for Kenya’s outstanding sevens rugby team. Meanwhile Charlotte took the younger kids through a range of games that kept them enjoyably occupied. Many of them had by now become amazing in the use of hula-hoops, introduced by Lucille, a participant in a previous Journey.
The Hula Hoops were put down briefly for an an "exhausting" game of Stuck in the Mud. Then Shirley, back from Netball, and had the brilliant idea of teaming up with Charlotte to teach some primary school pupils the Hokey Cokey, which rapidly grew in circumference and volume!
