Lesson Focus: The class will be divided in half to participate in a modified game of hockey. The team will be put in particular playing positions on each half of the court. There can be two-three goalies depending on the size of the class.
Organization: Use one teaching area. Have two goalie areas set up between 6-10 feet apart depending on how many goalies you use. One team will wear jerseys.
Have five forwards, four halfbacks, three fullbacks and three goalies.
Start play with a face-off. The forwards can play any part of the court and are offensive players. The backs move behind the attackers and are ready to field the puck. The fullbacks stay back and play defense. The goalies stay in the goalie area to block the puck from going in the goal. After four – five minutes, have all players switch to a new position.

Remind the students how important it is to cooperate amongst themselves and how they need to display good sportsmanship, and work as a team. The class should provide positive comments to each other.
The students will participate in a modified game of hockey playing by the rules. The students will call their own fouls and penalties with the teacher’s help.
Discuss with the students the different names of playing positions and their role in the various positions.
After four or five minutes of play, rotate players to new positions so the students can have experience playing different positions.
