Introductory hockey based around fundamental skills and small games with the emphasis on fun
Fun Sticks is an amazing game based hockey development programme - ideal for our Year 1 & 2 kids! The Programme will run over 12 weeks in Term Two & Three. More information is below:
We have a second intake for this awesome programme in Term 3, starting the very first week back at school! :) (Does not include public holidays and school holidays.)
Children learn through fun exercise, hockey activities and finishes each week with some mini-games. The programme is very interactive and a place for all to come and learn.
A Typical Week's Programme:
- 15 minutes of a warm-up activity (seaweed, etc)
- 3 x 10 minutes of various hockey exercises
- 15 minutes of mini hockey games
