Today was our second hockey session led by Blae from Progressive Sports. We discussed what we covered in the last session and highlighted key points such as stepping with your left leg forward and pushing the ball with the head of the stick. Extend the left arm and hand to pull the stick forward. Push the right hand through to generate power and direction of the pass. Maintaining a still head throughout.

The children then worked in pairs to develop their push pass. We learnt that a push pass is an effective and accurate short pass that can be used quickly to maintain possession.

Never have we done a hockey lesson in our PJ’s so the children thoroughly enjoyed it and even more so in the beautiful sunshine!
