How do you do a hit in field hockey?

Answer 1

start with a static hit first: your hands should be near the top of the stick and together. Make sure you leading foot (left foot) is about in line with the ball and it is not too close to your body but not too far away either. Take your stick back so it is just above horizontal. Then don't take your eyes off the ball and then hit the ball. follow through with your stick so it points where you want it to go( be careful no-one is in front of you!)

Then when you are confident with this: Push the ball not too far but you will know how far to push it after you try the next step.

Say this in your head step, cross, step.( take a step with your left foot, then cross your feet, then step again with your left foot.) The last step should put you in line with the ball at the right distance from you. Then hit the ball as before.

hope this helps=)

Answer 2

A slap hit is a hit with one hand low down on the stick, as opposed to a "normal" hit where both hands are at the top of the stick.

Answer 3
