How to start playing field hockey
Get ready for your first training session, choose equipment and find a club.
Before your first session
Tell the club your age and experience. Confirm the group, pitch, time, cost and whether sticks are available to borrow. Ask which protection you need before buying equipment.
On the pitch
A beginner session may include carrying the ball with the flat side of the stick, short passes and a small-sided game. Start slowly and follow the coach’s instructions.
