  • Our hockey lesson plans support teachers with a well-sequenced Unit of Work that progresses from early stick and ball control to more advanced dribbling under pressure, passing choices, defending principles and team roles.
  • Across Years 1 to 6, pupils develop declarative knowledge about rules, space, positions, healthy participation and tactics, while procedural knowledge is built through repeated practice of movement, control, passing, receiving, shooting and game-based decision making.
  • These lessons also support wider development through communication, inclusion, feedback and fair competition, making these curriculum-aligned primary school hockey resources a practical choice for confident PE delivery.
