This was a TOP-SECRET stradegy meeting, we apologise but cannot discuss what events took place here today.

The first training session we practiced the 200m sprint in both the silver bullets & the racing queens' carts. After about 10 minutes all of the parents introduced themselves to each other. We did a bit more practice with the carts, team 2 used the silver bullets cart & team 1 used the racing queen cart, the silver bullets cart is heavier but it has an advantage as you don't have to turn it around.

2001 Sunday June 03 Our first training session/meeting:

We had a lot of fun, pushing these carts around is a lot harder work than it looks. We will be having another meeting in 2 weeks, when we will decide on our cart designs & talk further about sponsorship possibilities. click here to see some photos of our first session.
We also have to decide on our team names.

2001 Sunday June 17 3pm @ Netball courts:

On the 17th of June, 16 kids from Cockatoo, had their pushcart training at the Mountain road netball courts. We had activities to keep us moving. A goal shooting activity, and a skipping activity. Some parents timed us running a lap of the netball courts pushing a partner and then vice-a-versa.
Then we all pushed the carts through an obstacle course, with witches hats set up.
Afterwards we all went into the clubrooms and discussed our team names & logos. For our next meeting we are going to bring sketches of pushcart designs that we like, and also suggestions for names & logos. Click here to see some photos from this training session.

2001 Sunday July 01 3pm @ Netball courts:

At our second pushcart meeting we started with a circuit that will help to build up our stamina. In the circuit we had to push the cart 200m with someone sitting inside which we timed, do an obstacle course which was also timed, shoot 50 netball goals and skip.
After being outside we went inside and started discussing things like our team name, uniform colours, cart designs and training strategies.

Today we started with a warm up game. The game was called BANG. We had to bob down when our name was called and if the person next to us had their name called out we had to shoot them (with our fingers). Then we played SHARK, SHIP, SHORE. Where you had to run to the place that was called out.
After that we started the real stuff where we went to our teams and ran the obstacle course.
