Hockey Unit | Level 5

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to dribble while walking and weaving.

IMPORTANCE
Dribbling while walking and weaving is important because it helps you practice keeping the ball in front of your body while moving. Dribbling in a weaving pattern is the first step to dribbling around a defender.

VOCABULARY
Weave: to turn from side to side in order to avoid objects.

When dribbling while walking and weaving, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Set up four courses of cones. I will divide the class into four groups. Line up single file behind your group's marker cone. When I say, "GO!" the first person in line will walk and weave around each cone in the pattern. The next person in line can go after the first person reaches the first cone. When you get to the end, pick up your ball and return to the end of your line.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up shoulder-to-shoulder on the baseline with your hockey stick and ball.

Today we are playing Mind Reader II. Your goal is to dribble while walking and weaving back and forth to trick the minder reader.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select a mind reader to stand in the center hula-hoop with a blindfold on.
• Everyone else will begin on the baseline with their hockey stick and ball.
• When I say, "GO!" the mind reader will spin around in a circle, counting down from "45".
• Everyone will weave their ball back and forth from the baseline to the midline.
• When the mind reader reaches "0" everyone must freeze. The mind reader will have five seconds to guess how many people are on the baseline.
• If the mind reader guesses correctly, everyone must run a lap around the boundary cones.
• If the mind reader guesses incorrectly, he/she must run a lap around the boundary cones.
