This hockey lesson is a comprehensive lesson plan for short corner skills for hockey beginners. It will be most appropriate for teaching to a group with no hockey experience e.g. year 7.

The link to the video in the description is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qGKLoqPSow 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.
