We got the new sporting season off to a great start last Friday with a fantastic hockey workshop at Indian Gymkhana led by Kate Richardson-Walsh, Captain of Team GB’s gold medal winning hockey team from the 2016 Rio Olympics.

There were three sessions, starting with the Year 7s, many of whom were brand new to hockey. Games Captain Jo Jo and the Sports Reps helped with the “getting to know you games” and with some great tips on passing and dribbling the ball. The lucky Year 7s then got to take part in a Q&A with Kate and heard some inspiring stories about life at the Olympic Games, plus tips on motivation and why hockey is such a great sport, followed by photos and autographs!

The Year 8s & 9s worked on their technical skills – on ball placement, receiving the ball and shots on goal. The girls improved in confidence as the session went on and Kate Richardson-Walsh talked about knowing your own “super strengths” – encouraging the girls to identify what they are good at and what they bring to a team.

The final session for the Senior girls was followed with another great Q&A which covered all bases – from the Olympics, McDonalds & Pin Badges, to the importance of taking time out for yourself!
