Lesson Focus: Students will grip the hockey stick and work on dribbling and passing using a yarnball. Discussion of hockey safety. Organization: (30 hockey sticks and 30 yarnballs) Spread equipment out along the wall Students are in scatter formation. 1. Teacher demonstrate proper grip after going over description of hockey stick. 2. Each student will get a hockey stick and a yarnball. 3. On signal, students will practice dribbling in their area alternating using both sides of the blade. 4. Students will dribble around specific area keeping their head up and moving at controlled pace. 5. Teacher will discuss passing and demonstrate. 6. Students will get a partner closest to them and will work on passing in a stationary position. One partner will put a ball back against the wall without throwing it. 7. After teacher demonstration, students will work on passing as partners are moving around the teaching area. They will lead the ball slightly in front of partner.	Grab stick with left hand if right handed or non-dominant hand as if you were “shaking hands”. Right hand or dominant hand is 6-8 inches below top hand. V grip formed by thumb and forefinger. Hold stick in front of body. Elbows and arms should move freely. Hold stick firmly but comfortably. When dribbling, use small series of taps using both sides of the blade. Keep arms in front of body when dribbling straight and keep ball close to body. When zig-zag dribbling, move blade to the left or to the right. Students will dribble to line and back keeping blade low to the ground and using short controlled taps. Students will zig-zag dribble to line and back. When passing, students will have good space between classmates and stand opposite their partner at a close distance. Students will pass back and forth without making their partner move. Students will be in two lines (shuttle) and will pass back and forth to each other to the line in front of them and back. The pass will need to be passed a little ahead of the partner.
Closure: Put all sticks and yarnballs against the wall. 1. What was our lesson focus today? When you grip the hockey stick, which hand goes on top of the stick? What are two rules about hockey safety that was discussed today?
