How is crazy ball going to help achieve P.S.A target?
Public Service Agreement Target laid down by DCMS (Dept for Culture Media and Sport) stats by 2008 85% pupils in school will participate in 2hrs High Quality P.E from inside and outside the curriculum
“ vision” is to increase this 2+3 by 2010, this is the idea that 2hrs will come in curriculum and 3hrs will be provided outside the curriculum

Where do we stand?
PESSCL released survey in order to assess to what extent primary schools are achieving PSA Target
Nationwide results came back at – 80%
More locally South Northants – 86%
Although target achieved across partnership 14% deficit equates to over 1500 children who are missing out on the target in the region

Where does crazy ball fit in??
Question 2
Easy to set-up, trans-ability, gender, age etc
Playing boundary flexible
Limited equipment
Timescale does not affect gameplay 5-50mins
Rules easy to learn, quick to learn to lead

Question 3 – Intra School Activity
Despite high scores in PESSCL many hide behind cross-country or one off mass participation event – NOT sustainable
CB lends itself to all forms of competition league, cup, knockout, round-robin
Sides can be 2-10-a-side with all ranges interacting together
Equipment can be differentiated for level of ability soft-hard ball etc

Does CrazyBall answer any PESSCL needs?? What do others says about the activity and the game????

Crazy Catch and Crazy Ball ????
Mr John Duggan - Special School Sport Co-ordinator Leicester City Schools Partnership
“ The Crazy Catch is a remarkably versatile piece of equipment limited only by your own imagination. I have used the Crazy Catches and played CrazyBall for the last 6 months and have found many uses for it in my own work with children with and without special needs”

Mikey Cartwright Level 2 Coach.
Community Sports Leader
The Crazy Catch is fun, exciting and energetic. It provides the opportunity for young sports people to develop the basic skills required in their later sporting life

Eaton Gordon Level 3 ECB Coach and Chance 2 Shine Coach
“ Crazy Ball is a fantastic game in itself but it is also an excellent warm up routine. I used if for the under 13’s and they really enjoyed it. It has pace , agility , balance as well as the fundamentals of throwing and catching . They quickly found out that communication and movement is key and it built a real team spirit. A great game that the kids really enjoyed “

Stacey Brewin a Community Multi-skills Coach for the Leicester City School Sport Partnership
The children at the Gifted and Talented Academy enjoyed the Crazy Ball game. It combined accurate throwing and catching skills, the ability to find space, team work and improved aiming skills. Like all team sports it was an energetic, fun game and is good for inclusion. Similar to Netball type games but with the addition of the Crazy Catches makes this game exciting and unique for all age ranges and abilities

Andrew Clark SSCO for South Northants County Council
“ All is looking good for the CrazyBall tournament on the 12th. There is a fair amount of excitement about it and the pupils seem genuinely enthusiastic.
The leaders loved the training session you gave them and are keen to get involved, I have managed to scrape together a little bit of money for some prizes etc. Is it okay to use the Flicx and Crazy Catch logo on the prizes etc???”

Dr Sherylle Calder - Visual Sports Skills Coach for International Sports Teams
“ I use Crazy Catch with many of the international teams where I am involved with visual performance skills training. It provides the opportunity for developing the complex visual reaction and coordination skills required to perform at the highest level.”

Bryan Habana -
World Cup Player of the Year 2007

Question 5 – Inter School
Easy set-up in/outdoor comp any space
As teams can be made up of range of ability/gender/age etc there is not just an eligible few who can represent school
Short easy transferable rules etc lends itself to easily sustainable league or cup format

Question 6 – Activities offered
Simple nature of sport means many schools will already have required equipment in the stores
Average number sports across partnership is 15 by adding CB equates to an instant 7% raise in activities offered in PESSCL data.

Question 7 – Club Links
Intention to introduce a CB Community club to local areas with high up-take in schools
Being well practice in School/Club links through work , CB will have easy links to increasing each school club link by 1
Average across School Sport Partnership is 6 clubs therefore CB would instigate a 17% increase in schools PESSCL data

Question 8 – Community Club Participation
Over partnership score is 41% of pupils, this equates to 6600 children across Sth Northants alone who do NOT attend an after school club
Increased intra/inter school participation, CB will start to chip away at these figures . Being as though the pupils who are missing out on PSA Target was just over 1500 CB can start to have a positive impact into achieving 100%
In real terms this would mean CB going into e.g Croughton All Saints School and having to affect 8 children to have a positive impact on their PESSCL data!!!!

Question 10–Leadership/Volunteer
Nature of CB allows simple umpire/referee/officiating roles, rotational basis this means each player will be involved in some form of leadership/volunteer role within each game – produces a 100% score for each game of CB that is played
Add on factor of CB leadership bolt-on into local secondary Sports Leaders courses allows for increased impact into further primaries.

Not just in number of answers but……….
CB has an understanding not only of the importance of participation in Physical Activity but also how this participation should be of “high quality”
CB is dedicated to working towards high quality outcomes with every pupil worked with
Currently working with local SSCo in order to create framework of high quality outcomes

Skills before sports!!!
Although CB is a game in its own right it builds and develops the most important core or “fundamental” skills primary aged children should be concentrating on
Often a tendency to rush children into playing sport in a formal atmosphere too soon
CB offers that same competitive atmosphere but children have to use core sending, receiving, marking, intercepting, dodging and running skills broken down into their simplest form which are transferable across a range of sports later in their school career

Skills development & a game!!!
The Crazy Catch and Crazy Ball can be used in either a game or individually
Thus skills development can occur on a one to one basis or in a team or group
Activity cards - ( Printed or downlaodable) are available for carefully controlled sessions to be run.
