Hockey Club takes place on a Friday. It is a highly popular club and is taken by Miss Pryke and Miss Hayes who are brilliant coaches.

The hourly hockey session is split into half an hour of exceptionally hard training and skills, and half an hour of matches. The training and skills work involves tricky moves such as nutmegs, reverse stick, penalty taking and goalkeeping.

There are a variety of matches we take part of including no goalkeepers (which improves defence) and three hit hockey (which improves skill work).

Hockey Club is one of the best after school activities, which is popular with both boys and girls.

These are some Hockey rules:

l The ball must not touch your feet.

l You are not allowed to shoot outside the semi-circle.

l You are not allowed to gang up on the person with the ball.
