Welcome to Hockey Australia's Hookin2Hockey Schools Guide. This guide has been

designed to assist teachers, community coaches (from clubs and associations) and approved

coaching providers, to deliver Hockey Australia's all-inclusive Sporting Schools Program. The

program will help students learn the basic skil ls of the game, as well as develop fundamental

motor skil ls, and improve their ability to work as part of a team.

Hookin2Hockey Schools Guide – Philosophy We believe that Hookin2Hockey Schools will introduce new players to a game that provides fun,

friendships and a lifelong love of an iconic Olympic sport, beginning in a school environment.

This program will teach students the basic skil ls giving them the opportunity to not only fall in

love with our game, but providing them with a dream that one day they can represent

Australia at the highest level of all, the Olympic Games. The Australian men's and

women's teams are among the best teams in the world, giving equal opportunity to

both young girls and boys.

• Player's love of hockey begins in a fun and welcoming environment.

• The basic skil ls (pushing, receiving, dribbling and stealing) that could take them to the

Olympics are learned in this program, through playing modified games.

• Safe practice! None of the skil ls require the hockey stick to be raised above knee

height. This means players are safe throughout the program.

• Skil l demonstrations wil l assist students in copying the movement of each skil l. This helps

develop skil ls and enjoyment of the game.

• Hockey is a dynamic game. All the skil ls are introduced, practised and developed while

moving, so there is no standing around!

• The more time and space players have to learn skil ls the faster they wil l learn them

and the faster they wil l grow to love hockey.

• Maximise game play; this program is all about the fun that comes with playing

small-sided and modified games of hockey.

Here are the reasons why everyone loves hockey:

There are very few rules of the game that need to be administered for the activities in this guide. The two rules outlined below can be officiated as stringently or as leniently as seen fit

to suit the age group that is participating in the session and program.

• No feet: The ball is not permitted to come into contact with the players feet. If the ball does

touch the players feet then a turn-over wil l be awarded to the opposition.

• Flat side of the stick: Only the flat side of the stick can be used in hockey. This can again be

enforced or not enforced depending on the age of the participant. It is recommended that in

younger participants (F-3) this rule is encouraged rather than enforced.

Fundamental Rules of Hockey

Australian Curriculum Glossary

No feet Flat side only

FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS: The foundation movements or precursor patterns to more specialised,

complex skil ls in games, sports, dance, gymnastics and physical recreation

activities. They provide the foundation for human movement, competent and confident

participation in a range of physical activities. The fundamental movement skil ls to be

developed through Health and Physical Education include:

• Locomotor and non-locomotor skills – rolling, balancing, sliding, jogging, running, leaping, jumping, hopping, dodging, galloping, skipping, floating and moving the body through water to safety.

• Object control skills – bouncing, throwing, catching, kicking, striking.

MOVEMENT CONCEPTS AND STRATEGIES: These provide a framework for enhancing movement

performance. Movement concepts (or elements of movement) explored in the curriculum include body

awareness; spatial awareness; effort awareness; and relationship to/with objects, people and space.

Movement strategies refer to a variety of approaches that wil l help a player or team to successfully achieve

a movement outcome or goal. Movement strategies include moving into space to receive a pass from a

teammate or hitting a ball away from opponents to make it difficult to retrieve or return the ball. Different

games and sports may require similar activities or goals and wil l therefore use similar

movement strategies to achieve success.

MOVEMENT CHALLENGES: Choose movement tasks that require individuals or groups of students to use a

problem solving approach to successfully complete a task. The solution can be

verbalised, documented or demonstrated physically.

WHEN COACHING CHILDREN, ALWAYS REMEMBER:

• Children's sport should be fun!

• Children need lots of opportunities for unstructured play, a broad range

of activities and the opportunity for creativity

• Early sports specialisation is not recommended for young children

• The social aspects of sport are highly valued by children

depending on the age of the children.

INCLUSIVE COACHINGGood coaches adapt and modify aspects of their coaching to create

an environment that caters for individual needs, allowing everyone to take

part and experience success within the activity. The onus of inclusion rests with the coach.

Many people think that you need special skil ls or knowledge to coach participants with a

disability. This is not the case. The basic skil ls of good coaching, when applied with an inclusive

philosophy, wil l ensure that all participants including people with disability can participate.

PLANNING FOR INCLUSIONWhen preparing a coaching program, examine what, if anything, needs to be adapted or

modified. Two strategies coaches can use when planning and conducting activities are

TREE and CHANGE IT. By modifying the factors listed, coaches can meet the individual

needs of the participants.

TIPS FOR COACHES WORKING WITH PARTICIPANTS WITH DISABILITY

• The basic principles of coaching apply when coaching participants with a disability.

• Accept each participant as an individual.

• Ask the participant what they are able to do; the needs, strengths and weaknesses of individuals wil l differ.

• Assess each participant's aspirations, needs and ability, and plan a training program accordingly.

• Understand how the impairment (disability) affects the participant's performance; it is not necessary to acquire extensive knowledge of the disability.

• Set realistic and challenging goals as you would for all participants.

• Be aware of the risks associated with all participants in your care, and be prepared to deal with emergencies should they arise.

• The stick should stay on the ball during a push i.e. no backswing. • The right hand should be 1 / 3 of the way down the stick.

• The pushing action is like an underarm throw.• Walk around a large, open space pushing the ball in two's or three's. The stick face should

be at 90 degrees to the direction of the ball when receiving/trapping. • Receiving is ideally a “one touch“ movement with the ball remaining on the stick face.

• The ball should be cradled when trapping, like catching an egg.

• Using common 1 v 1 concepts from games such as British Bulldog players try to move past their opponent with the ball.

• The ball carrier should move on angles to change the position of the opponent, then when the opponent begins to follow they should dribble the ball at 45 degrees the other way.

• Players move in pairs passing the ball between them.

• One player starts with the ball, the other player stands opposite them trying to steal the ball.

• Should be done at walking pace to allow players to understand the required movements.

PUSHING AND RECEIVING beating an opponent 1v1

• Pair's change to groups of three. • Allow running rather than walking.

• Players can jog or run while passing and receiving. • Add a goal for the ball carrier to dribble the ball through.

• Can be done while stationary.• Use cones for the ball carrier to dribble around, rather than another player stealing.

• Don“t use hockey equipment, practice by running or walking.

While the program is designed for primary school students, the skills and games can be adapted to suit any group of students across any age bracket. Suggestions are included to help teachers and

coaches to CHANGE IT to modify activities depending on students abilities.

The session plans in this guide are easy to understand and simple to deliver, supporting

teachers, community coaches or endorsed coaching providers to deliver an eight week hockey program

with ease. Each session is designed to be of 1 hour duration, but can be modified as needed. A series of

questions for students and fun facts are included to help increase student

engagement with the sport and the sessions.
