Why this why now

Previously, pupils have looked at using and applying more complex attacking and defensive skills and tactics through a ball games unit, without the focus on a specific sport.

As well as applying the transferable skills and understanding required for invasion games, pupils will also be taught the game specific skills, rules and tactics that apply to the game of hockey.
