Helmet,Gloves,Shoulder pads, elbow pads, hockey pants, shin gaurds, skates, stick, puck, jersey, and hockey socks For field hockey you only need shinguards, mouthguard, a stick and a uniform, unless you want to be a goalie.
It would probably be hockey. You need to learn to skate, skate with a stick, control the puck. In football, you have to learn to throw/catch the ball, but running is easier than skating.
To play floor hockey, one would need a lightweight plastic ball, or a heavier ball. Sometimes a normal hockey stick, field hockey or bandy sticks are required.
Well , when you are using a big stick it will drag in the dirt but on ice it will just slide so it will be harder to move in the field so the answer is no.
Defiantly hand-eye coordination, passion for the sport, and a great attitude! :D
I think you shoould go with Gymnastics and field hockey it will work I know it will!!!
There is not much difference in the design of Indoor and Outdoor Hockey sticks, The indoor hockey stick tend to be thinner, generally made of wood and more lightweight as the field of play is smaller and in less need of restriction on playing the ball with the stick, the outdoor hockey sticks tends to be thicker and more ridged to create more resistence thus propelling the ball further.
I am a AAA hockey player, they do not require us to wear hockey shorts, but hockey pants are a neccesity.
Of course not. All you need to do is get the equipment and join a team. Most players can explain the rules you need to know and show you some of the useful skills involved; if you prefer, the Rules are available at the FIH website and there are many training videos both on the internet and in some stores.
