LEAD UP GAMES/ACTIVITIES |
|
|
|
GOALIE HOCKEY: |
|
|
|
Place the class into four groups in a square formation
with all the students with a hockey stick and as many pucks , rings , bean bags, etc. as available. Start the activity with
the equipment on the floor and remind them that all shots are to be taken from their contact line. Any equipment in the middle
area must be brought back or passed to an outside teammate . By lining up on the volleyball lines of the floor plus the middle-court
line of the b-ball court works best. In this way , the basketball endlines and out of bounds will be used as the scoring lines
for ease of not making other lines. Any puck , etc, that passes those lines is a score and must be left there(can't be played).
The team that permits the least amount of scores wins each time. The object is to block and score at the samr time. There
is alot of scoring and equipment so action should be at a high level. Play until a time limit or all equipment has been scored. |

|
|
BILLIARD HOCKEY: |
|
|
|
Arrange some tumbling mats in a square formation(four
of them placed with a small opening at each of the corners to be used as pockets. Chose a colored wiffleball to use as the
cue ball. The object is to hit the cue ball into the other wiffleballs(colored) into the small openings . Use more than one
set-up/games for more participation. This can be played within individual or partners depending on the number of tumbling
mats. Each person takes turns taking a shot. The activity starts with a break like in the game-BILLIARDS- and play continues.
This can be used like in a golf game , too , with the holes being the opening areas at the corners . It any event , use the
proper grip, stance and techniques in previous lessons. |
|
|
|
THREE GOAL HOCKEY: |
|
|
|
Make three sets of goals made with traffic cones
or hockey nets in thre different areas. Establish a goalie for each team , offense and defense that will switch places
after 2-3 minutes . Any extra people can be officials who go to the goalie spot next. The arrangement will look like this: |

Leave enough space between zones for safety and
more involvement. After each round have a round robin activity so each team plays the other . There is no need to keep score
. |
|
|
|
TARGET HOCKEY : |
|
|
|
Place a movable object in betwen four teams ina
square formation. Distribute enough styrofoam pucks or wiffleballs equally for each team. The object is to hit the object
