Skills for Hockey Every fortnight Youth town comes to our school and today we had Youth town. The Youth town people are Maddy and Jordan Today we learnt Hockey skills. First we played a little game called knee slap and the aim is to slap your partner's knee and then we made it harder so that when you try to slap their knee you can slap their back as well as their knee. And then we learnt how to hold a hockey stick and you put your left hand on the top tightly and the right or other hand on the bottom of the grip loosely. Then we learnt how to twist the stick and because the right hand is loose ,the left hand can just twist and it can twist on its own. Next we learnt how to control the ball with the stick. You hold the stick with the flat side pointing to the front and you never hit the ball with the curved halve. After we played a game when one of Jordan said 1,2,3 or go then we do a action. 1 was to hit the ball 3 times side to side. 2 was to roll the ball around your body. 3 was to go to the end of the line of the court. Go was to plant your ball on the ground and take someone ball and continue dribbling and that s what we learnt at Youth town.
