Hockey

This term students in years 3-6 have started learning hockey. Hockey is a fast paced sport and involves many skills:

• Dribbling: Focuses on forehand control.
• Passing: Covers the “tick-tap” pass.
• Receiving: Addresses the wide-based receive and running receives to develop control and accuracy.
• Defending: Focuses on the block tackle. 
• Shooting: Covers the forehand finish,  to practise shooting accuracy.

If your child has been really enjoying hockey during PE with Dave, there are several clubs in our region, which you could investigate. Find a club - Hockey Australia
