Field Hockey · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Put on shin guards and a mouthguard, then check the field surface. Loosen your lower back, knees, and ankles to prepare.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start with light passing and dribbling. Keep your knees bent and watch the ball and nearby players as you move.

STEP 3

End phase

Slow down and walk as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Running and changes of direction work your cardiovascular system and whole body. In a low stance, your legs and torso support your body.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Do not swing your stick above shoulder height. Lower your stance by bending your knees instead of only your back.

STEP 6

Breathing

Breathe naturally even while running in a low stance. Ease your pace after a sprint and let your breathing settle.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent playing field hockey. Do not enter pass counts, shot counts, or goals.
