yes you have to be able to dribble the ball.
Dribble through your legs
Indian Dribble This is technique is very important for all players on the pitch. To complete an Indian Dribble you must drag the ball to one side and then the other very quickly. This will cause confusion to the defender who you will be able to nip round. To make your dribble more effective, drag the ball a further distance when you perform this technique. Practise bring the ball from one foot to the other or try to do it at the length of a spare hockey stick.
Three skills in hockey are skating, passing, and stick handling. Shooting and goalie skills are a couple more skills in hockey.

Lampard does not use that many skills in the pitch but he can dribble and when you look at him closely he is an amazing dribbler. Although he's not a Ronaldo or a Messi he is fast, good long distance shooter, can dribble, has good stamina and is an amazing passer. In my opinion the best mid-fielder.
hockey and DOMO!
There are too many different skills to list and describe each even briefly. Moreover, many of them cannot be "completed" like a task or set play because they are ongoing actions; this includes things like being aware of players around yourself, knowing where you are on the field and keeping track of the ball as you dribble.
It is when a coach, pro, or experienced in hockey teaches you and improves your skills over sessions. :)
To improve your hockey skills, you can learn by practicing fundamental techniques such as skating, passing, shooting, and stickhandling. Additionally, watching professional games and seeking guidance from experienced coaches can help enhance your understanding and performance in hockey.
1. Dribble close to you and close to the ground. 2. Do not take your eye away from your defender; he can steal the ball at any time. 3. Do not try many fancy moves (i.e. behind the back passes) as your chances of retaining the ball are not good.
