In an action-packed hockey lesson with Mr. Jenkinson, pupils developed their spatial awareness, quick direction changes, and defensive positioning. The session began with the “Splatters” reaction drill, which was adapted by adding extra defenders to increase the challenge and force quick decision-making under pressure. Working in pairs—including partner work with the orange group—players practiced making sharp cuts away from defenders to create open passing lanes, adapting their play into a strict three-touch rule to increase tempo. The lesson finished with a competitive game of Lineball, where pupils successfully applied their attacking breakaways and defensive tracking to protect and score across the end line.
