HOCKEY LACROSSE
PURPOSE • INVADE your opponents territory and shoot the ball into their net, while protecting your own territory / net. Hockey Lacrosse
VARIATIONS Although there are many variations, the rules, skills are all similar. The surfaces and equipment is the biggest thing that changes (so they can be played all-year round).
FOCUS FOR THIS UNIT IMPLEMENTS: Is just a fancy way of saying “hockey stick” or “lacrosse stick” • The strategies & tactics we covered in Unit 1 are still important! • Do the use of an implements make games easier or harder?
SKILLS • Passing, Catching & Shooting – it is always important in any game, but will be much different when using a ‘stick’ • Aim & Accuracy – Aim at your target, the more accurate you are, the better!
SAFETY • Both Hockey & Lacrosse are physical, often violent contact sports, but this is PE class so there is no contact • Hockey – the stick must remain below your waist (no ‘slap shots’) • Lacrosse – during gameplay to start you will only be allowed to intercept the ball, not hit your opponents stick.
