FMS Circuit

FMS Field Hockey Game Gather kids in centre of area without sticks. Ask them to look at the field hockey field around them. What do they notice? What do you know about a field hockey game? Highlight that we have left and right sidelines, in the middle is the centre line, in front of you is the goal you want to score on and behind you is the goal you want to defend. We are going to imagine we are playing a game and practice some of the movements we do in a game. Explain, demo and practice the different movements players will do do when they hear you call out the terms below. Start with the first 6 and then add additional ideas as you go. Make it fun! Move with them and change your pace in calling out the different things.
