Hockey lesson plan - Advanced defending and tackling skills (block, jab and reverse)

This hockey lesson is a comprehensive lesson plan for defending and tackling skills for more advanced hockey players. It will be most appropriate for teaching to a group with two units of hockey experience e.g. year 9. Skills included: block tackle, jab tackle and reverse stick tackle.

This is a non editable lesson plan, if you would like the editable version please purchase my SOW here.

This lesson was created to save time for busy teachers and is made so teachers with little/no hockey experience can teach it just as well as those with lots. You should be able to teach a lesson with minimal preparation and I made these so in most cases they can be just picked up and taught.

All lessons have levelled outcomes. The levels are the old national curriculum levels 3-8 however they are easily editable and changeable to your own assessment levels.

Each lesson has assessment levels, diagrams, links to skill videos, differentiation , clear teaching points and afl opportunities. As well as clear explanations of the tasks. There are no timings included as each school can vary in terms of lesson time. They should provide enough tasks for lessons of 40 minutes and above.
