What you’ll learn
I can quickly and effectively switch from attacking to defending to help my team when playing hockey.
Key learning points
- Move: to outwit our opponents, we must pass, move, dribble and shoot accurately to win the game.
- Move: when our team loses possession, we must quickly switch to defending and closely mark or tackle our opponents.
- Think: working as a team to apply tactics and solve problems in a game situation can increase our chances of winning.
- Feel: striving to always respect the rules and be a role model to our team and the opposition shows self discipline.
- Connect: we should always strive to communicate so our team understands the tactics we are applying in the game.

Highlight the value of both attacking and defending and encourage teams to work together.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Split each team into mixed ability; this will give your class the appropriate level of challenge and enable them to support each other.
