The new format

By observing the quality of the games, member's skill level and people's feedback, I came to a conclusion that the format of games should be changed. Instead of having training session, I felt that shooting and passing practices are not in demand, and by forcing it would result in members leaving. Due to this possible issue I have reoriented the club to a game focused one. 

 My plan was to make 3 fixed teams, each being approximately equal in strength,so they could compete every week toward a championship title or something along those lines. About time management, I though it would be good to have 4 sections of 3 games, allowing each team to play two each section. Between sections there would be a interlude period, when players can drink water and rest a little bit. 

  

 This is first 3 week's personal shoot statistics. 

Even though this is more professional, but I feel that our club can't accurately record this, because for accuracy one person should be dedicated to do that. Nevertheless, this is good evidence of personal skill level of each player which I have incorporated in team making process. 

The Week 4 games 

Last weeks games went accordingly to my plan. Most members were happy with the new team, but like any collective of human beings there were some complains, mainly focused on refereeing. On this problem I would try to assign few people, who have potentials to referee as just as possible or ask some teachers. 

This is the final product which has been put up on the wall. For the layout I got the inspiration from the football club.(Thanks guys!)

I have accordingly filled in the colours for each team and added an overall high score for all the members.(Right side). 

Overall, this was a exciting experience and I felt more confidence into it because of past experiences gained throughout first 3 weeks running the club. 

I still have many things to improve on, such as my own skills (I only scored one, very disappointed) and mastering the the new routine. 

I believe I have achieved:

• Increased Awareness of strengths and areas for growth: through analyzing club members' performance and making the new teams.
• Undertaking new challenges: by experimenting with the new team and calibrating from incoming feedback.
• Planned and initiated activities: by planning the new teams and putting them to use.
• Working collaboratively with others: through listening to feedback and involving others to refereeing, time keeping and score writing tasks.
• Showing perseverance and commitment: I have listened to feedback and have attended the club regularly, even disregarding my opportunity to play the game. 
• Developing new skills: I learn how to make displays and manage the club at the basic level.
