    @MissHarrisonPE1 STOOLBALL TEACHING & COACHING RESOURCE PACK. CREATED BY GEORGINA HARRISON IN ASSOCIATION WITH; STOOLBALL ENGLAND AND THE UNIVERSITY OF GREENWICH STOOLBALL This teaching and coaching resource pack includes; • Stoolball’s History • Rules • Umpiring • Match and Practice Set Up • Objectives for a SOW • Warm-up Activities • Core Skills • Drills • Mini-Tournament • Theoretical Application Stoolball is an ancient English game which has been played for over 500 years. It is the origin of baseball and is widely assumed the predecessor to cricket, as mentioned in Shakespeare’s ‘The Two Noble Kinsmen’. Once popular right across England, Stoolball has been played at Lord’s cricket ground and in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, and overseas including; Sri Lanka, India and Australia. In 2012 Stoolball made history with it’s first ever national match following the formation of it’s national governing body, Stoolball England. The first ever mention of Stoolball dates back to 1086 AD when a form of Stoolball was possibly found in the ‘Domesday Book’ in Norman England. Throughout the centuries Stoolball began to grow and was regularly played by Sussex milkmaids in the 14th century. More recently, Stoolball was a favoured past time activity of injured war heroes in the 1st and 2nd world wars and helped to rehabilitate them through sport. Whilst Stoolball has been played by both men and women, today Stoolball is a predominantly female sport played across the South-East of England, with it’s origins dating back to Sussex. Maximum of 11 players per a team. Minimum of 1 umpire per a match, desired number is 2.

  • Pioneering Movement Ready for Take-Off - Summary Report
    This Girl Can Sussex Network: Pioneering Movement Ready for Take-Off - Summary Report Date of webinar: 25.02.2021 Authors: Gemma Finlay-Gray and Carrie Smith, Active Sussex (plus notes from group facilitators) Background On Thursday 25th February, as part of the annual Active Sussex Network event the ‘TGC Sussex Network: Pioneering Movement Ready for Take-Off’ session took place as a celebration of active women everywhere; who are doing their thing, no matter how they do it, how they look or even how sweaty they get! Having reflected on the gender gap that is still apparent in sport and physical activity and even more so in respect of the pandemic, we wanted to take greater action and so using the national This Girl Can Campaign that we have supported since 2015, we wanted to really make a statement to addressing this inequality and so decided to create our own This Girl Can Sussex Network, which we aim to use as a catalyst to inspire more women and girls to move more in the county, and help break down the barriers that prevent so many from being physically active. To understand the current landscape we wanted to explore some of the insight around women and girls participation and hear first hand from some inspirational women, with different abilities, interests and personal incentives, as to why they exercise and how they fit it into their busy lives. We also wanted to use the thoughts of our This Girl Can Sussex Ambassadors and enable facilitated discussions to explore how the new network can respond to the needs of women and girls in Sussex, to support them on a journey to become more active.
