All about Hockey this week at Epping Forest Sportability

This week at Epping Forest Sportability it was all about Hockey. After a warm up, the group started on some basic skills controlling the ball with the stick. They then moved on to a Traffic Light game which sounded a lot of fun.

After Bench Hockey the teams then went on to play some hockey matches. There were four teams with one game in the hall while the other game enjoyed the spring sunshine. The games were short to allow all the teams to play each other. At the end of the session was a game of bench ball to use up any remaining energy before it was time to go home.
Our star of the week is pictured with coach Alan on the left. He did really well this week and has joined in all the sports since he started coming to the club in January of this year. Well done!
Just a reminder that next week will be the last session before the Easter holidays - we hope to see as many of you as possible there on Saturday!

After a short break the group then split in to teams for some  games of Bench Hockey. Bench hockey looks a bit like table football in that all the players on one team sit behind one bench with their hockey sticks throught the bench, with the opposite team doing likewise on the opposite bench. The playing area is the gap between the benchs with goals at either end. Hopefully the photos on the right help show the game in all its glory!
