Medium Term Plan - Hockey - Year 10

The Year 10 hockey medium-term plan, designed for six lessons, aims to enhance pupils' core skills and apply them under game pressure to outmanoeuvre opponents. The intent is to cultivate game tactics, role versatility, and independent game management, while emphasising the significance of teamwork, communication, and active lifestyles. Students will progress through stages of emerging, developing, and mastering these skills, with the emerging stage focusing on basic skill replication, the developing stage on effective teamwork and improved confidence, and the mastery stage on tactical awareness and skill refinement.

Knowledge and skills covered include principles of attack and defence, decision-making, role comprehension, set plays, and game rules, with a focus on passing, receiving, shooting, dribbling, ball control, and defending. The learning sequence builds on core skills, introduces pressurised game situations for tactical development, and fosters independent decision-making and understanding of game rules. The curriculum also addresses problem-solving, setting challenges, decision-making, personal development, evaluating and improving performance, and career opportunities in the sports industry. Each week is structured with specific learning objectives, activities, and assessments to support differentiated learning and personal growth.
