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.
They are quicker to execute and more accurate than hits and sweeps over short distances.
Basically, teach them to push/pass and shoot goals. Or if they are an older team sweeps and hits. there are many websites or books that explain hockey. A great website that I found is www.hockeymanawatu.org.nz this has coaching resources and rules.
