Hockey

Today we have been refining our hockey skills in preparation for our hockey matches next week. Over the term we have been learning how to correctly hold a hockey stick and keep the ball under control. We have learnt how to pass and receive a ball, making sure to push the ball and look at where we are wanting the ball to move to, whilst cushioning the ball and regaining control once we have received it. We have also learnt how to keep the ball under control whilst moving. This week we practised all of these skills and further developed our techniques by learning how to pass and receive whilst moving with the ball and how to safely tackle an opponent to win control of the ball. We ended the session with a quick shoot out.
