Level 3 NICAS session. Focus on precise, energy-efficient movement and locking off for rests.
Warmup - hopscotch relay races using sticky dots, mirroring (worked well but despite demo, they didn't always get the idea of the leader in mirroring putting them into balance positions - make more explicit next time).
Demo - showed pausing in a stress position vs locked off and got them to comment (good observations made) then explained why they may need to find a position to rest in inc. chalking, resting an arm, thinking, clipping when they start leading.
Activity - got them to climb, putting in a locked off rest after every few moves (some kept forgetting or not bothering, others really motivated as it was this week's Lord Slothhart goal*).
* the club mascot is a cuddly sloth - whoever does best in the stated goal gets to take him home for the week
