A few days ago I called our local High School Gym teacher to ask about coming in to do a Skyaak demo with her kids. I was happy to hear that not only would I be welcome to come in to demonstrate Skyaak moves, techniques and drills with grade 9’s, but also grade 11’s and 10’s. We’ll demo the different types of throws and catches, then go into disciplines.
We’ll have hula hoops for ‘Accuracy Throws’. You just keep backing away further each time until you qualify the last clean throw through the hoop.

Object of ‘Accuracy Throw’ is to make a clean pass through hula hoop.

We’re going to split into groups of five to form circles. Then we’ll have 4 Skyaak units that go in sequence clockwise around the circle. Maybe call that ‘Snatch Throw’n'Catch’. The idea is to have one less Skyaak than number of participants to create that little lag so there’s time to pivot, in order to receive incoming.Another demo will be ‘Long Bomb’ (football term) where you throw a unit to a running partner- you have to aim ahead of the person who is running so they can snatch it without changing their stride.

Incoming! A split second after this shot, a successful completion!

There’s really lots of variations, formations that can be worked out as we go. We’ll see how that works out.

The teacher has happily agreed to catch highlights on video and stills so I will have something tangible to take away from the event.

This is the kind of pro-active attitude we must have to take Skyaak to the next level.

Skyaak: Fun for kids of all ages!
