IMPORTANCE
Scrimmaging a game is important because it teaches the rules and procedures of a full game.

VOCABULARY
Scrimmage: a simulated game.

When playing a hockey scrimmage, it is important to remember the rules:

RULES

• The GrowFit rules are a simple, modified version of Hockey. If a rule is not mentioned below we will not be following it.
• Before the game begins, a person from each team will begin in a face-off to gain possession of the ball.
• All other members must be one stick length away from the students facing off.
• Students must keep their hockey stick below waist-level.
• Students may:
  • Dribble the ball behind the goalie net.
  • Use their hand to catch a ball. Once the ball is caught, it must be immediately dropped straight down.
  • Use their feet to maneuver the ball but not to pass or score and students may not step on a ball to prevent another student from gaining possession.
• A goal can be scored from anywhere of the field.
• A goal will not count if:
  • The hockey stick is above waist-level.
  • The offensive player has his/her foot inside the arc.
• Goalies may:
  • Catch, grab, or hold the ball.
  • Throw the ball below waist-level.
  • Kick the ball.
• If the ball is hit out-of-bounds or a penalty occurs, the game will resume beginning with a face-off.
• Penalties will result in a one-minute penalty break where the student will take a rest on the sidelines.
• Penalties will include:
  • Anytime a play is made with the stick above the waist, also known as high-sticking.
  • Pushing, shoving, checking, or any other type of misconduct.
  • Misusing the equipment.

• You cannot check, shove or push another teammate.
• If a ball goes out-of-bounds, the teacher will throw it in.
• Defending students must remain 3 – 5 feet away from their goal.

• After 10 minutes, we will rotate teams.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:

  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
