6 Hockey About the Game: During Year 1 and 2 the children will start to handle sports equipment with more control and accuracy. Controlling a ball using the correct grip on a hockey stick is fun to do and beautiful to watch. The under-arm throw is also an important tool and the change of activity forces the players to think about their grip on the stick each time they pick it up. Rules: 1.Players are shown the “thumbs down” grip and can pick up a stick and start to dribble through the gates. 2.After 5 gates the players can dribble towards a basket and do an under- arm throw to the basket from behind the throwing line. 3.The ball and stick is then retrieved and the game re-started. Remember to grip the stick correctly after each throw. Basket Gates Throwing Line
