All things Hockey this week at EFSC

5/10/2019

 
With Ray now off for two months to cycle around Cyprus, for charity, it was down to Alan, Ollie and Kate to run the session in the hall and this week the sport played was Hockey.
After a warm up of stretches it was time to grab a plastic hockey stick each and a tennis ball and start off by dribbling the ball around the hall, with the stick.
The gang then played a traffic lights game to utilise the skills they had practised. This included moving the ball from side to side on a yellow traffic light and moving around the  hall on a green light. 
From there the coaches added cones to the mix asking the kids to dribble through gates - pairs of cones and then around a figure of 8 course. The last activity before a break was to dribble up a slalom course before shooting between a pair of cones
After the break there were a series of one-on-one games where the coaches would pick two kids of equal ability to go up against each other. They had to run the length of the hall to where Ollie was waiting to throw in the ball. From there they had to get back down the hall and score past a goalie whilst trying to avoid being tackled by their opponent. The first to score was the winner for that game.
The pairs were switched around so that everyone got to have a go and hopefully win a game or two.

The last game played was Bench Hockey which used all the skills used but in a more relaxed setting. The group were split in to two teams and each sat behind an bench facing each other with their hockey sticks poking through the benches. The goals were at each end and the teams had to work the ball along the bench so that they could score in the far end.
At the end of the session the coaches awarded the Star of the Week award to young Liam. Very well done Liam!
We look forward to seeing you all again this coming Saturday for more fun and games.
