The first meeting of "A Sporting
Chance" was held at Grey Central
School on Saturday, May 17 by the
Cranbrook 4-Hers. This club is
designed to get all members inter
ested and involved with different
sports.
The meeting began with a game
in which all members were given
two or three slips of paper that had
the names of different sports and
athletes on them. The object was to
match the sport with the athlete
who plays that sport. When you
found the person who was your
match, you had to introduce them
to the rest of the members.
Next, the club's executive was
elected. They are: president, Jen
Terpstra; vice-president, Jill Speiran;
secretary, Christina DeWitt; press
reporter, Sarah McLellan.
After the elections, we were
briefed about what we will be
doing in this club. We were then
divided into "teaching teams"
which will each be responsible for
one of the remaining three
meetings. Each "teaching team"
consists of an organizer, an official,
two coaches, and two trainers, who
each haVe a part in their meeting.
The teaching teams also picked
which sports they would like to do
at their meeting.
Following this was a presentation
on nutrition by the two youth
leaders in the club, Julie Terpstra
and Lisa Blake. During this
informative presentation, we’were
each given a hand-out to complete
on the topic, and we played dodge
ball with a nutritional twist in that
if you were hit, you had to answer a
question on nutrition.
The last major part of the
meeting was to go outside to play
"Flags" and "King's Court Dodge
Ball" which were the games of
choice for the "teaching team".
When we were done playing
games, we worked in our "teaching
teams" again until the meeting was
closed.
The group will be travelling to

their achievement program.

Beginning with the reciting of the
4-H pledge, meeting two of "A
Sporting Chance" was held at Grey
Central School by the Cranbrook
4-Her's on Saturday, May 24.
Following the pledge, any
member who brought title pages to
the meeting was asked to put them
on display, and, by show of hands,
they voted for the one which we
liked on display, and, by show of
hands, they voted for the one which
we liked the best. The title page
which received the most votes was
that of Sarah McLellan.
Next, the floor was opened for
suggestions for the club name.
When there were no more
suggestions, they voted by secret
ballot and their name for this club
is the "Cranbrook Cross Trainers".
The next part of the meeting was
the roll call. This week's roll call
was "What is the most important
qualification for a coach?" There
was no one correct answer, but
some of the good ones were being
supportive and teaching skills. On
that note, they then completed a
quiz which was designed to tell
whether their coaching style would
be oriented towards development,
fun, or winning.
After, members did a series of
activities intended to give them an
idea which sports they might be
interested in. This was done
through finding things like
flexibility, lung capacity, static
balance, dynamic balance,
explosive power, landing ability,
convergent vision, and heart rate.
Finally, when they finished the
activities, they went outside to play
soccer.
The next meeting will be held on
Saturday, June 7 at 3 p.m.
