Outline and structure of the lesson: warm up game,
discussion, drills and activities and modified game
First lesson of hockey
- Introduce the main skills:
- Reinforce safety considerations: raising the stick, swinging, no
hitting other students, dont deliberately hit the feet of others
- Passing, dribbling, shooting are combined
- Tackling next week, used with defending
- Hockey is an international field sport played all year round by
two teams of 11 players
- The object is to score more goals than your opponent by
playing the ball with the stick from inside the circle
- All hockey sticks are held right-handed, normally with the left
hand at the top of the stick and the right hand below this. The
head of a hockey stick has a rounded side (the right-hand or

forward with goals at each end protected by a no-go area
of 3 metres

- Defenders are only allowed in the defensive zone. Midfielders
are allowed in all 3 zones. Forwards are only allowed in the
forward zone
- The ball cannot be passed over more than 2 zones
- Goals can only be scored from within the forward zone

Warm up game: Tails

- Each student has one sash tucked into the back of their
shorts
- Aim of the game is to protect your sash but also steal as
many from others as possible
- Players with the most sashes win
- Cant hold onto your sash, no aggressive stealing
- Play 2 games: half the gym and full size gym
(10 mins)

CONCLUSION
Sharing, Explaining and Reviewing Inquiry
Share time. Student reflection. What do they now know?
Assessment Criteria: Assessment OF Learning
Observe students abilities throughout the lesson, determine whether
or not they are competent with completing each skill
Safety is a big issue with the equipment. Students who cannot
participate safely will be given a warning and then asked to sit out
Students will be able to test their combined skills in the modified
game of hockey
Discuss the skills learned at the end of the lesson

Throw, throw, throw

- Two groups of equal size face each other
- Each player has a tennis/hockey ball
