Team Sports Lesson Plan HBPY

Student Name: Drew Howlett ID# 3701927

Group: Tuesday 2pm-4pm

Colour Band: Red

Date: 14.10.08 (Week 11)

Lesson Topic: Hockey

Lesson Objectives:

• To introduce the group to the game of hockey and an overview of the skills and rules required of the game.

• To incorporate a progression of skills and drills related to hockey.

• Modify drills and skills to suit the abilities of the group.

• Maintain group participation and involvement.

• Endeavour to create an involved understanding of the fundamentals of the game.

Lesson will be 75 minutes in duration.

Equipment Required:

• Set of cones.

• Class set of hockey sticks.

• Bucket/Bag of soft and hard hockey balls.

• Class set of colour bands.

• 2 x Goalie Uniforms/Pads

• Class set of Shin guards.

• 1 whistle.

Client/Group considerations:

• Age 18+yrs.

• Client/Instructor ratio. (Instructor is myself for a group up to 14)

• Injuries/illness.

• Skill level is moderate and varied, all group members are assumed to be (after initial observation) sportingly minded and have at least a basic grasp or knowledge of the game. The group also has moderate to good stick/ball handling skills and awareness.

General Safety Issues for Hockey:

• Clear and clean field surface.

• Students must wear shin guards (preferably with long socks so they stay on).

• Appropriate Footwear.

• No personal Jewellery, watches etc.

• Cut, short, fingernails.

• Appropriate first aid facilities as it is a high injury sport for joint injuries.

• Students must always be aware of other students around them when they lift their stick

Warm Up (5mins each)

Initial Dynamic Warm Up.

5mins should be allocated at the start of any session for a quick jog, followed by a dynamic warm up incorporating high knees, but flicks, side steps/grapevine, hurdle step overs, minor lunges, and grass cutting (participants jog bending down to one side as if clutching a handful of grass).

Warm Up Drill 1. Field Jog

Sideline 1 forward jog, goal line sidestep, sideline 2 backwards jog, half-way line sidestep. Repeat for a second lap.

Warm Up Drill 2. Relay

Split into 4 even groups, each at 10m apart. With a hockey stick for each group (no ball), run holding the stick with two hands at either side and above the head. Pass to the next group member.

*For variations to aid with stick control & handling, perform same warm up, but rotating the stick around the waist, and then through the legs.

Warm Up Drill 3. Stretching

Students will form a circle and will take turns in leading the group in a particular stretch, where the stretches will be both static and dynamic, specifically focusing on the legs and back muscles/joints.

Safety issues associated with the warm ups include ensuring the area being used is clear from any trip hazards and instructions are given clearly.

Basic Drills. 20 mins all up max.

To incorporate fundamental skills of hockey including passing, trapping, dribbling & shooting for goal.

Basic Drill 1. Introduction to dribbling (Close, Loose & Reverse dribble). (5-7mins)

Students to have one stick and one ball each. Close dribble ball to 25 yard line and back. Repeat drill using back stick. Students then loose dribble the ball to the 25 yard line and back. Repeat drill using back stick. Students then reverse dribble the ball through a set of cones up to the 25 yard line and back.

Teaching points:

• Close dribble: Ball is in constant contact with stick while being pushed/dragged along ground.

• Loose dribble: Ball is lightly tapped in front of stick along the ground, but while still maintaining control.

• Reverse dribble: Used to avoid opponents by changing direction quickly as the player dribbles on both sides of their body. Right-hand grip must be loosened, and left hand twists the stick face anti-clockwise (Same grip for Back stick)

• Gripping the stick- lay stick face down on ground; pick up with left hand at the top- the ‘V’ of the thumb and first finger should face right shoulder; place right hand half way down the shaft of stick.

• Back stick- Because the ball can only touch the flat front of the stick, the stick must twisted when it is on its left side.

• Dribbling- keep ball in front of body; bend knees and stay low over the ball

• These activities develop control of the stick and ball while on the move.

Safety Issues:

• Ensure area is clear from trip hazards.

• Keep stick in front of body and away from other people.

• Spread out along goal line to avoid sticks and balls clashing.

Basic Drill 2. Passing & Trapping (5mins)

Students to get in pairs, with one stick each and one ball between the pair. In pairs standing 10m apart, push and trap ball demonstrating both right and left (reverse/back stick) trap back and forth.

Teaching Points:

• When passing, ball must not leave the ground at all.

• Great drill to focus on passing and trapping control using both sides of the body

• When push-passing, students must step forward with foot opposite to side of body they’re passing from.

• When trapping, ball must only touch the flat side of stick.

Progression:

• The main objective is for students to develop confidence in passing and trapping using both sides of the body, as well as work on their accuracy in passing.

Safety Issues:

• Ensure the area is clear of trip hazards.

• Keep ball along ground while push passing.

Basic Drill 3. Guts (5-10mins)

Each student has a stick each, using one ball to begin with. Teams of 3 stand between marker cones approx 15m apart (see diagram below). Each team takes it in turns to try to push the ball between the cones past the wall of opponents. A team scores a point if the push pass penetrates the wall or the opponent uses the back of the stick (non-flat side), or the ball hits the opponent’s foot. The faster the ball is played the better.

x- Team 1; ●- Team 2; ▲- Cone; ↓- Direction of pass (approx 15m apart)

▲ ● ● ● ▲

Teaching Points:

• Strength and force of the push passes should be increasing.

• Gives students a chance to practice trapping under pressure.

• Including rules such as ball not being able to touch the foot or back of stick helps develop understanding of boundaries for when a game is played later on.

• Gives students a chance to compete and build enthusiasm.

Variation:

• Students can only use back stick/reverse passes and trapping, to develop skill of a more challenging skill.

• Add another ball or two to make the game faster and more challenging.

• Move cones further away and strike ball towards goal rather than push pass (requires right hand to move up the stick towards the left hand, and a slight backswing and follow-through of the stick is required).

Progression:

• With the added pressure of trying to stop/trap balls being passed faster having less time to react to stop/trap them.

Safety Issues:

• Ensure the area is clear of trip hazards.

• Proper application of strength.

• Balls still must always be passed along the ground.

Basic Drill 4. Keepings off (Passing, trapping and interception skills) (5-10mins) *if time

Students to get into groups of 4, each having a stick, with one ball between each group. In a triangle, 3 students will push pass the ball to each other, while the 4th person tries to intercept the passes. Once the ball has been intercepted, swap roles. Repeat until everyone has had a go in the middle.

Teaching Points:

• Passes must be accurate.

• Must be good teamwork from people passing in the triangle.

• Great drill to focus on intercepting passes, and closing down angles to put pressure on attackers.

Safety Issues:

• Ensure the area is clear of trip hazards.

• Ensure players talk to avoid collisions in the triangle.

Advanced Drills 15mins max

Advanced Drill 1. Pass, Trap, Shoot! (10mins)

Students will have a hockey stick each, using one ball to start with for the group. Player A will start with the ball, pass it to the running player B who gives a short push pass to the standing player C. Player C then passes back to player A who has kept running and will dribble and shoot for goal. Rotate positions and repeat (A goes to B, C goes to A, B goes to C).

*DIAGRAM*

Teaching points:

• Focus on accurate passing to team mates.

• Pass should be to space into which receiver (player B) must run.

• Shooting/Driving: Grip the stick with hands together towards the top of the stick; body should be side on to the hit; ball should be level with front foot; large back swing with weight on back foot; swing forward, transfer weight to front foot and keep head down; stiffen arms after contact to ‘brake’ the follow through and avoid dangerous play.

• Player C must focus on quick, controlled trap and pass-off to keep momentum moving

Progression:

• Drill should start off slowly and build in pace as students become more confident in their movements and skills

• Start off with softer ball, then as skill level improves, use harder ball

Variation:

• Bring in goalie (with pads) to put pressure on shooter/striker

Safety Issues:

• Ensure area is clear from trip hazards.

• Try to make sure ball is mostly on the ground while passing (except for drive/shooting).

• Shin guards must now be worn at all times

Advanced Drill 2. Number Hockey (10mins) *only do if lots of spare time

Divide into 2 teams, where each student will be given a number from 1 to up to 14 (depending on numbers). When I call a number, for example “number 2s!”, those 2 players (one from each side) must run into the middle and attempt to score a goal.

Teaching Points:

• Objective of this activity is to compete one-on-one and put skills learnt into practice and into a game sense

• Players will have to implement interception skills to defend.

• Each team are encouraged to support their team mates.

Variation:

• Call out more numbers to compete at one time.

Safety issues:

• Ensure area is free of any trip hazards

• Shin guards must be worn

• Students competing must be very aware of their sticks and their opponent to avoid dangerous play

Extra Drill: Penalty Corner (10mins)

Students in groups of 3, using a softer ball to start with. Player A starts with the ball and a stick 10m approx to the right of the goal on the goal line. Player A pushes the ball firmly to player B outside goal circle who traps the ball to a stop, and player C takes a couple of steps and shoots/drives the ball at the goal. Repeat for each group, and each student should swap roles.

*DIAGRAM*

Teaching Points:

• Player A needs to have their front/left foot forward and their back foot wide apart so the body is lowered towards the ground, which will enable the ball to be pushed at great force to player B.

• Player B needs to get their stick low and even on its side along the ground to trap the ball but quickly move their stick as player C approaches.

• Player C can only take a few steps and will take a low but firm back swing.

• Player C must not follow through from their strike too full to avoid dangerous play

Variation:

• Put defenders and goalie starting in the goals to run out when corner is taken to put pressure on attackers.

Progression:

• Start off slowly with soft ball so players get used to drill, then move to use a harder ball and speed up the drill.

Safety Issues:

• Ensure area is clear from trip hazards.

• Be careful of backswing that other players are out of the way

• If defenders implemented, shin guards are essential for protection

Basic Hockey Rules

• A game is split into two halves lasting 35 minutes each.

• At the beginning of each half play begins with a pass from the centre of the halfway line.

• After a goal, the match is restarted in the same way. There is a five minute half-time interval, or longer if previously agreed.

• Each goal is worth one point.

• They can only be scored from inside the shooting circle - a semi-circular area in front of the opponents' goal.

• Goals scored from outside this area are disallowed.

Positions

• Goaltender: The goalie's primary task is simple - keep the puck out of his own net. Offensively, he might start his team down the ice with a pass, but seldom does he leave the net.

• Defensemen: These players try to stop the incoming play at their own blue line. They try to break up passes, block shots, cover opposing forwards (center and wings) and clear the puck from in front of their own goal. Offensively, they get the puck to their forwards and follow the play into the attacking zone, positioning themselves just inside their opponent's blue line at the "points."

• Center: The quarterback on the ice, the center leads the attack by carrying the puck on offense. He exchanges passes with his wings to steer the play toward the opposing goal. On defense, he tries to disrupt a play before it gets on his team's side of the ice.

• Wings: The wings team with the center on the attack to set up shots on goal. Defensively, they attempt to break up plays by their counterparts and upset shot attempts.

Basic Infringements

• Minor Penalty: Two minutes - Called for boarding, charging, cross-checking, elbowing, holding, hooking, high-sticking, interference, roughing, slashing, spearing, tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct.

• Major Penalty: Five minutes - Called for fighting or when minor penalties are committed with deliberate intent to injure. Major penalties for slashing, spearing, high-sticking, butt-ending and cross-checking carry automatic game misconducts.

• Misconduct: Ten minutes - Called for various forms of unsportsmanlike behavior or when a player incurs a second major penalty in a game. This is a penalty against an individual and not a team, so a substitute is permitted.

• Penalty Shot: A free shot, unopposed except for the goalie, given to a player who is illegally impeded from behind when in possession of the puck with no opponent between him and the goal except the goalie. The team which commits the offense is not penalized beyond the penalty shot, whether it succeeds or not. 

• Delayed Penalty: The whistle is delayed until the penalized team regains possession of the puck.
