Teaching aids...
« on: December 30, 2006, 05:18:51 AM »
Thismorning at our house, while the kids are on their break from leagues, the center held a teaching clinic for the kids. They did something I've never seen, and would love to try this myself..

They had a cloth on 3" PVC pipes draped across a pair just after the arrows, you couldn't see the pins.. The coaches had them pick their usual marks, and tell the coach if they hit it or not, and then would instruct the kids on what to do for adjustments on the remaining pins left.. Looked like a good training aid..

The adjustments were based on a format of 3-6-9 boards of to which they should move according to where and what pins were left..

Was wondering what kind of teaching aids or props do they have for the kids at your houses. ?

Blocking the sight on the pins is a great thing to learn toi trust in your repetitive power. I know that there are also some high metal sheets which you can stand across the arrows and see yourself while playing. It is also a great tool on style, becaue youcan immediately check yourself.

Another thing we have at our club is a self-made wooden "bridge" which is also set across the arrows, with a metal axis between 2 poles abot 2' high. Dangling from it on this axis is a metal "stick" with an arrow on the front side, pointing downwards. You can slide this moveable arrow on the axis, and it is just long anough that a ball going under it will touch the arrow's tip and move the stick - it is used to do "hitting-the-arrow" training, at youth as well as for older players.
