Best Answer

Moving the ball along the ground using a pushing movement of the stick after the stick has been placed close to the ball. When a push is made, both the ball and the head of the stick are in contact with the ground.

What is a push back in hockey?

Before a hockey match a coin is tossed to see who gets the push back. Whichever team captain wins picks either the the direction in which to score, or whether or not to have first push back. The person who plays the centre-forward position takes the push back from the centre of the half-way line on the pitch. when the whistle is blown for the match to start, the centre-forward passes the ball back to a member of their team- that's how play begins. A push back is taken after every goal.
