Small groups navigate a compass-point circle system, moving from starting positions through a central dodging point to opposite positions whilst maintaining ball possession through cradling
🥍
Students establish personal shooting accuracy baseline by taking 10 shots (5 from left approach, 5 from right approach) while focusing on technical shooting mechanics and peer assessment
🥍
Fast-paced competitive team game where numbered players race to ball in centre and compete 1v1 to score, combining reaction speed, ball control, and attacking/defending skills
🥍
One player cradles a ball while moving to evade a following partner, developing ball control under gentle pressure
🥍
Dynamic warm-up where pairs protect a bib from a catcher in small groups
🥍
Students practice shooting after dodging past defenders, progressing from passive to active defence while developing feinting techniques and shooting under pressure
🥍
Creative tag game where students dribble hockey balls while avoiding 'Death Eaters' trying to tag their ball. Includes rescue element with Harry, Ron and Hermione characters freeing frozen players
🥍
Partner practice activity developing advanced Indian dribbling technique through figure-8 cone patterns and slalom courses with peer coaching
🥍
Whole-class possession challenge where students continuously move whilst cradling their ball in a defined area. If ball is dropped, complete a forfeit before returning. Area progressively reduces increasing pressure until one King/Queen of the Court remains.

🥍
Structured zone-based game where 3 attackers attempt to pass and dribble through 3 defended zones to reach the end, with defenders restricted to their zones
🥍
Dynamic game where defenders (sharks) use jab tackles to knock balls out of a grid while dribblers shield and maintain possession
🥍
Students practice cradling and passing under time pressure, working in groups of three with a countdown challenge to develop control and decision-making
