This term we are very lucky to have Regan from Hockey Hawke's Bay teaching us hockey skills.
We are learning how to receive a ball, dribble, push and pass a hockey ball and tackle. We know that the correct way to hold the hockey stick is with our left hand at the top and our right hand halfway down the handle. To help us get used to turning the stick we have been practicing pushing and stopping the ball holding the stick with only our left hand.
We have learnt to keep our sticks low so that we don't hit someone. Keeping our sticks low also means we are can control the ball better and have the stick ready to receive or trap a ball, pass the ball to a team mate or tackle the ball off the opposition.
