Learning about Hockey

Today Peter from Canterbury Hockey came to teach us how to play Hockey. First we learned how to dribble he gave us a technique he showed us was to imagine the ball was stuck to the stick with glue or tape because the best was to dribble it to run while the ball is on the stick. Next he showed us how to block the ball and dodge a player the keep blocking the ball you need to keep rotating the stick because the ball is only allowed to touch the flat part of the stick. Then Once we finished lots of practice we had a game that is a little bit like rob the nest but hockey version to play there are 4 teams and a huge nest in the middle full of balls you had to use a hockey stick to grab the balls but once all of the balls in the are gone you get to steal from the other teams. It was challenging running fast but easy finding the nest to steal from, Today I learned how to block the ball from hitting someone. This is a photo of me playing Hockey dribbling with the ball.
