Re: 九龍區暑期活動報料站
kanas,
1. My son joined last year. So did the son of another BK mum.
2. 5y is minimum age.
3. There were around 100 participants last year, min 5 coaches, sometimes 7.
4. Kids are divided into rows according to age, (5y; 6y; 7-8y; 9-10y) then line up re height.
At first they learn :
- taking their caps off, and how / when to bow to coach, place caps in front of chest, place mittens on ground, how to shout
- warming up exercises, takes about 20 min.
- take rest quite frequently, about 2 times per session, to cool off and drink some water (because it is really vvvvv hot)
- jog around the field
- games (running round the pins雪糕筒,team games)
after 2/3 sessions,
- how to throw a ball
- how to bat
last 2/3 sessions,
- names of positions
- play a game of baseball
first 20-30 minutes of each session
- warming up exercise
last 20 minutes of each session
- exercises again, to cool off
- bowing to coach, to field and to parents in thanks
Older kids (7-10) learn faster, play more games, whereas the little ones practice more.
5. No, not dangerous, actually vvv safe, so long as the kids listen to the coaches. The first thing they teach and emphasise on is safety, and what NOT to do.
(My son got more bruises at home than from the baseball sessions.)
6. Apart from the course fees of $100, you need to buy baseball uniform (or wear your own, but there are some standards), plus baseball mittens (gloves), total around $350. (Uniform plus cap costs around $150 forgot exact amount. You can buy these at the briefing session in July - held on a Sat pm in early July, at the HK Stadium. For baseball mittens you can also buy from Tokyo Sports.)
The bats and balls and pins are supplied by the coaches.
7. If your boy / girl is the active type, he/she will enjoy it. But if he/she is an output of a greenhouse, then will find it very tough. No more babying.
The heat in July/Aug is quite intense. I consider it very good disciplinary training, also physical training, training kids to be tougher away from being pampered in a greenhous.
Kids are expected to : answer their coaches, learn teamwork, no 打小報告- both parties will be punished, punishment is 做10/20下掌上壓.
It is quite enjoyable for parents to watch their kids being disciplined !! |
