Boys Sports Programme September 2020

St Mary’s College Boys Sport 2020

Half-Term One

Dear All

First of all welcome back! As we embark upon a new school year, we will attempt to give the pupils as ‘normal’ a year of sport as is safely possible to do so. Please bear with us on some aspects of what we can and can’t do. There may for example be instances where the pupils can do something for their clubs and not their schools. Please accept that we have to stick within each sport’s National Governing Body’s guidelines As WELL AS educational guidelines. We have however come up with a timetable of activities for the pupils to be as active as possible.

We are very aware that the pupils sadly missed out on their summer sports so we will catch up on the summer sports whilst also introducing the winter sports.

In terms of sportshall usage it is strictly one age group allowed in to the sportshall at a time in line with school policy and national guidelines of establishing each age group as a bubble. We have decided because of this to align all practices to occur at the same time as the girl’s practices in the same age group. Therefore pupils can strictly only enter the sportshall on their allocated time slot, on their allocated day.

Timetable of Activities

Lunchtime activities start from Wednesday 9^th September

After School Activities start from Monday 14^th September

Saturday practices start from Saturday 12^th September

Games

As Football is ahead of Rugby in terms of a return to play, we will be doing Football in Games as well as an Athletics Catch-up from the summer

Address of the Games Field

Blundell Park
Little Crosby Road
Crosby
Liverpool
L23 4TR

Please note, as Year 7 have their Games lesson during periods 1, 2 + 3 on Thursday, Year 7 pupils should arrive at school in their Games kit and bring their uniform with them to change into at the end of the Games lesson. They will be transported to and from the games field by coach. All other age groups can arrive AND leave in fulkl school tracksuit; if not uniform.

PE

All lower school age groups will start the year on a cricket catch-up or on fitness. We will also introduce Year 7 to Badminton.

After-School Sport

After school sport will be on Rugby Skills and strength & conditioning and will be very much fun based.

Senior Rugby

Senior Rugby shall have;

Monday: Gym 4-5 at the field (minibus down there)

Friday: lunchtime lineouts

Saturday:         9-10:15 Rugby

At the field      10:30-11:30 Gym (at the field)

Gym

For seniors we have converted the canteen area at the field into a weights gym. This is a significant space and will solve the problem of not having two groups in the same space from a bubble perspective.
