Team Members present: Eleanor (coach), Matt, Lucy, Craig, Glen, Sarah Apology: Zoe
 * discussion of academic roles for this week (who is to be responsible for the write-up of review, minutes etc.)
 * ensuring everyone is clear as to who is coaching in the next few weeks with wk 6 shifting coaches a wk forward
 * discussion of El's coaching session: games sense model introducing spatial awareness and the little blind fold game at the start a bit of fun
 * talked about the four games we played - got ourselves off the bottom with a couple of wins hopefully!! Our attacking plays were much improved, better flow and less need to specify forward/back positions, noticeably fitter :)
 * suggested how we'd like the coaching sessions to flow - how to follow on from spatial awareness? what to do next? possible attack strategies and specific scoring plays...etc.
 * discussion of Hastie's article:
 * this paper identified the responses of high school aged girls within a mixed (co-ed) SEPEP season.
 * given that girls and boys played together, girls reported that despite roles not being spread evenly (boys were more likely to be captain and girls scorers), the season worked well, it was a lot of fun, and given the coaching, scoring and refereeing roles, girls were able to learn more about the game.
 * it's only really been in the last forty years that girls have been permitted equal rights within the sporting arena, and yet it is clear this mere passing of a law doesn't actually give equal rights since many sports are still male oriented and administrated. SEPEP is the means by which we can make this law a reality in its curriculum inclusivity.
