|
| Equipment Needs |
- Chart with diagram of the stick - label Blade, Shaft, and Butt (review parts)
For each student:
- One hockey stick
- Minimum of one puck per student
|
| Facility/Playground Needs |
Gymnasium or blacktop surface (indoor facility is best); Mark boundaries |
| Lesson Objective (Psychomotor and/or Cognitive): |
- Students will demonstrate appropriate and safe technique when gripping and carrying the hockey stick.
- Students will show correct hand placement (dominant hand near blade) when holding and using the hockey stick.
- Students will move safely and under control throughout the designated area among their classmates while dribbling the puck.
- Students will be able to identify parts of the stick and know cues associated with hand and stick placement in relation to these parts.
- Students will be able to re-state cues for hitting the puck.
|
| Teaching Hints: |
- Caution students to move under control.
- Be sure that students are safely moving about the area with the blade on the floor.
- Teacher should check for proper techniques on holding the stick and comment on specific students that are participating as instructed.

| Description: |
- With a chart in front of students, refer to the diagram of the hockey stick and point out the parts of the stick. Students should be informed about the Blade - needing to stay on or near the floor; the Shaft - where they are to place their hands (dominant hand near blade; hands apart on the stick to prevent "high-sticking"); Butt - Soft cover on top end of stick
- On signal, all students should pick up their own stick and show proper placement of hands - review cues for Hands - "apart" Blade - "on the floor" and Dominant/Favorite Hand - "near the blade".
- On signal, students should move around area - under control and in a safe way (head up); Students should also practice stopping on signal. Call them in to a "huddle" formation.
- Place a variety of hockey pucks scattered throughout the playing area. (Having one or more per student is best - using a lot makes the activity more fun.) On signal, students will be moving throughout the area gently touching (not slapping) as many hockey pucks as they can with the blade, making sure they are moving under control and keeping blade on or near the floor. Use cues, "watch blade hit the puck" and "follow through" to help with targeting. DEMONSTRATE. Have students count the number of pucks that they touch. Continue for 1-2 minutes. Ask for totals. Repeat.
- Next, students will be moving about the area and this time will try to tap one puck against another as they move. Remind students not to slap the pucks, but to direct them toward each other and keep count of how many times they were able to hit one puck against another. Remind students to move under control. Start on signal and keep count. Stop. Ask for total. Repeat.
- Recap - Students should share with the class their totals and discuss why they were able to touch the puck so often. Review parts of the stick. Review holding and carrying the stick. Review safety. Review cues for hitting.
