What are the fundamentals of hockey?

Answer 1

Fail answer before... Hockey has many rules.

Answer 2

Simplest rules are:

-First person to go into the opposing teams end (past their blue line) must be the puck or the person in posession of the puck.

-You cannot ice the puck, which is throwing it all the way down the ice from your half without it hitting anyone.

-There is countless rules resulting in penalties (2 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, kicked out, or suspended). These include tripping, high sticking (hit someone in the face with your stick), hooking, interference, slashing, fighting, and others.

-You cannot kick the puck into the net, however it can hit off your foot. Therefore, if the refs rule there was a kicking motion it does not count.

There are many others but those are the most basic rules.

Answer 3

The fundamentals are the basic skills of Basketball that make up the two aspects of the game: offense and defense.

Basic offensive fundamentals are dribbling (bouncing the ball with your fingertips), passing (there are bounce passes and chest passes, where the ball does not touch the ground), and shooting (which takes a lot of practice to do well).

The basic defensive fundamentals are guarding an opponent (keeping him or her from dribbling, passing, or shooting), and moving on the court.

To learn these fundamentals very well, the best thing to do is find a skilled instructor to teach you. There are books, articles, and websites that do a good job describing these, but a real live instructor is best.

Field Hockey is played by two teams. Each has 11 players on field at one time. These players usually include a goalkeeper, although they do not have to; the other 10 players are normally divided into backs, halves, and forwards, all with varying responsibility.

Each player carries a stick, normally 30-something inches long. They are fairly straight, often with some sideways bow along the shaft, and a tightly curbed head which is used to manipulate the ball. Most players wear shinguards and mouthguards, as well as sometimes gloves. Other protective bodily equipment is fairly rare. Goalkeepers may wear a large amount of protective padding and plating, within limits, and most importantly a helmet able to take an impact from the ball.

The field is just over 90 metres long and exactly 55 metres wide (approximately 100 yards by 60 yards) and divided roughly into quarters. Inside the defensive "quarter" at each end, called the 23 metre area, is a rough semicircular shape, called the circle. Goals may only be scored from within the circle, and it is a very important zone in the game; many rule infringements carry greater penalty within it, and some rules also apply differently.

A game is usually controlled by two umpires, one on each side, responsible for most of the decisions along one sideline, one backline, one 23 metre area and its corresponding circle; the centre half of the field is a shared task. They apply the rules, keep track of score and time, and award penalties where required as well as ensuring the game is maintained peacefully.

Many questions on this site concern specific aspects of the game, and there is a devoted category for it as well. See the related links for more information.

Answer 5

You cannot ice the puck, which is where you shoot the puck past the centerline, opposition's blue line, and oppositions goal line without another player touching the puck. This will bring the face off back into your own zone. You cannot pass the opposition's blue line before the puck, or there will be a stoppage in play. The crease is the goalie's area where he should be able to move freely in order to make a save. You cannot make a hand pass outside of your own defensive zone or high stick the puck down; both of these will result in a stoppage of play.

There are multiple actions that will result in the player and his team to be penalized by having to play a player down for two minutes, four minutes, or five minutes, depending on the severity of the infraction. Some of those actions include tripping, high sticking (hitting an opposing player above the waist), cross checking (hitting another player while your stick is parallel to the ice), charging (taking more than three steps or leaving your feet to make a hit), elbowing, interference (impeding the progress of a player without the puck), goaltender interference, unsportsmanlike conduct, too many men on the ice, boarding, and hitting from behind.

There are other rules that aren't coming to mind, but that should get you started.

Answer 6

to hit the ball in the opponents net

to score a goal the ball must pass between the goalposts and beneath the crossbar

if both team score the same amount or no goals are scored the match is a draw

the game is started with a pushback from the centre spot

a bully off, where two players line up opposite each other and tap their stick on the ground and then against each others stick before competing for the ball, is no longer used.

Answer 7

- Pushing

- Hitting

- Trapping

- Tackling

- Dribbling

Answer 8

Get the puck in the other team's goal.
