Today during P4 Gray PE lesson we were learning to strike from the hand. This meant that we were using much shorter hurls to change the play of the game. In teams of 5 we played, goal, defence, mid-field and two forward players. We played matches against one another and developed the airborne striking skill. Today we were, tossing the ball from the cupped hand to shoulder height. Keeping an eye on the ball sliding the non-dominant hand into the lock position, bending the elbows to raise the Hurley, stepping forward with the lead foot and swinging the Hurley downward. Striking the ball at knee height transferring our body weight to the non-dominant leg as the swing is completed. We have been working on these skills and hoping that throughout the next few lessons we’ll be able to play for St Brides.
