Field hockey is quite possibly the best sport in the world and not just because I play it.
Field hockey is a sport of mainly pushing and trapping the ball but that's not all it is, did you know that there is more than 10 types of hits alone not to mention all the different types of passes!
Just to name a couple of hits (shots) there is the normal upright big swing, (this is the most common) the LBZ which is a reverse hit, the squeeze shot and my favourite the flick hit.
Dribbling:
Dribbling is very effective in hockey (but still pass you don’t want to hog the ball) a good way to get good at dribbling is to just do some quick left and rights and whenever you lose control of the ball start over see how many you can do.
Hockey is a game played with 11 people on the turf you normally have 4,3,1,2(1) formation with STx2 LW RW FCM CMx2 CBx2 LB RB GK.The formation that my club plays with is also quite popular its the 3,3,1,3(1) this has LST, RST, CST, LM, CM, RM, FM, LB, CB, RB, GK. If you're wondering I play FM (Free man) or CM (Central midfielder)!
Hockey is a sport played all around the world the Netherlands are the world champions at the moment the beat Australia 2-0 in the world cup final.
The best men's field hockey player in the world in the world is Jamie Dwyer who plays for australia and has won player of the year in 2001 2005 2007 and 2009 he is one of my many hockey heroes along with black stick Grant Archibald and Hugh Ingles.The female champion is Luciana Aymar who plays for Argentina. I don’t watch the women's league so I don’t have much to say about her except that she’s amazing at field hockey.
My favourite part of field hockey is when someone scores a great goal even if it’s the opposition team because it blows me away how much power some people can get on the ball and it’s even better when you score it.
That was my report on field hockey I hope you enjoyed and I taught you something about why field hockey is the best sport ever!!!!!!!!!!
