Hockey Foundations Scheme of Work

The Hockey Foundations Scheme of Work provided a 6-week scheme of work for upper primary school students being introduced to Hockey.

The interactive lesson plans come with videos with International Hockey Coach, Jamie Kingstone taking you through the lesson with some of his youth academy players.

Along with the lessons you’ll receive a series of activity cards and technique posters to engage students in their learning.

The Hockey Foundations Scheme of Work is the first of five levels of the Performance Pathways Hockey Curriculum, making it ideal for introducing students to the game of Hockey.
