Year 8 Hockey Review

Today the Yr 8 students from LS2 had a 45 minute session with Bell our Hockey Instructor. We all learnt how to play hockey and tips on how hockey is played. The first tip was turning your arm side to side for the ball to be with in your place. Our second tip was learning different types of speed modes. Red which means stop Orange which means slow down but still dribble the ball Green means go in a normal speed Purple means reverse Silver, speed as fast as you can, Also Blue means you need to go around in a round about.
