If you guys find that this video isnt helpful, or she isn't doing something the right way please, feel free to make a how to of your own. It's easy to sit here and criticize this girl and her technique, but it would be more helpful to others if you filmed something like this on your own. Seriously, I'm starting field hockey this year, and could you some tips.
i love how you missed the ball when you drived but you tried to cover it up by moving the camera like the ball actually moved. and you even had it in the bloopers, yet you still used the footage.
My drives are wayy different from yours. I have the ball in front of me further away with my feet spread a foot apart. Than I take a step as the I lift my stick, and as I swing I use my hips to drive the ball. My hits make it pretty far down the field, and are the hardest on my team. I don't know what works for you, but for the new players watching this video, you should try both techniques.
it looks like you have a shinguard tanline! i absolutely hate it when i get those! i play field hockey all the time and i have the worst sun tan from that. i know how you feel though! good vid
@14aquinas okay listen, first of all you shouldnt b so rude about this when somebody put time and effort into makeing this video. im american and ive played both ice hockey and field hockey. just bcuz someone might not b as good as u or if they mess up doesnt give u the right to say tht all american shouldnt play this sport. u obviously hav some growing up to do and u can reply when ur not so imature.
Everyone at different ages and heights have a different way of hitting the ball, since I'm short, I choke up on the stick while driving, and it works better for me. It's really whatever works for you.
Shayd_45 It’s not rude she said it’s mostly played by girls an known as a girls sport quote on quote no one said that boys never played it Just like if she’s teaching us how to play football should say in the US it’s known as just like if she’s teaching us how to play baseball
funny how in the comments people were all like "omg you suck!" but literally clicked on this video so they could learn how to hit a hockey ball?? like did you come on here just to speak shit about her
Lol. Silly English People Fighting Over Hockey. Aus is better. Deal With It. And if you guys listened. it was a school project she made so stop criticizing.
pretty sure you missed the ball with your attempt to 'drive' it....perhaps you shouldn't be the one to instruct people on hockey. Furthermore, the slap shot is an ice hockey shot and has little use on the field hockey pitch. Your team mate will either be close enough to push pass the ball or far enough away to hit it.
number 1 you have to bend much more than u are doing for the slap shot and the push pass number 2 thats not a slap shot, a slap shot is your stick sweeping the ground untill it meets the ball number with your two hands at the top number 3 thts not how you drive number 4 your hot but suck at hockey ;)
hockey on grass..... this isn't medieval times! find some astro! also wasp hockey sticks are basically mass produced school hockey sticks, rubbish sticks for an actual player.
your footwork for a drive is totally wrong and a push pass should start at your back foot as you drag it with you, make sure you have these things right before posting a video of how to.
This was great! Very helpful for my girls who are just going to try field hockey. Thanks!

An American version of field hockey a slap is where the stick us on the ground

And we do full backswing for a drive
it looks like you have a shinguard tanline! i absolutely hate it when i get those! i play field hockey all the time and i have the worst sun tan from that. i know how you feel though! good vid
I've been practice the push pass when I played
hands together for the slap not far apart and body lower to ground
Before you get started make sure no-one is around when you play field hockey

Its hockey everywhere outside of your little North American bubble.
I might create my own how to hit a hockey ball this could help u and utube
CARROT!
but great for the newbies!
i swear she didn't hit the 'drive' shot??
you are not holding the stick right. point your right ponting finger out for more control
@omgitsjaja says who?
In the US it is not only played by girls, that's very rude, I know a boy who plays
Shayd_45 It’s not rude she said it’s mostly played by girls an known as a girls sport quote on quote no one said that boys never played it Just like if she’s teaching us how to play football should say in the US it’s known as just like if she’s teaching us how to play baseball
Not rude at all
funny how in the comments people were all like "omg you suck!" but literally clicked on this video so they could learn how to hit a hockey ball?? like did you come on here just to speak shit about her
@damiaan1996 sssh, she's american, they can't help it ;)
but nice vid
We call a slap shot a hit
You failed at the drive what ever. It's called hit shot or long handle.
6you purchased the wrong shade for your legs
I once got a ball to the face because the oposing defender drove the ball hard
That must have hurt, a girl on my team got hit in the mouth with a stick.
Ouch, I got my hand hit once. And my friend got hit in the eye.
Lol. Silly English People Fighting Over Hockey. Aus is better. Deal With It.

If any thing dont play on grass you've got more chance of hitting the ball
true field hockey players love shin gaurd tans lol... shows all the lame non hockey players that we are bad ass
Mandy Dykes oh yes they are the best😂😂
Is on the ground
It's wasn't that bad, I hope, besides the drive, she did everything right basically
not bad for a american hockey player :D
At least she's good to look at. Makes the video less shit
Slapshot? This isn't ice hockey babe..
you are so cute
Wait have you ever played before?! Doesn't look like it honestly
Try not to be a jerk. It's an English project for God's sake.
Carson Tucker 6th time I've seen you now it's getting creepy😲
Looks soooo easy
its field hockey...
Ummm, my coach told me its really dangerous to do a hockey hit in field hockey....
fieldhockeylover1002 ??
Watching Olympics right now. England sucks ass at Field Hockey. You should have this girl play for you.
i would like to see that stick somewhere else...
Ummm that's not slap hit ??
Wow..this is just... hahaha this is meant to be INSTRUCTIONAL?!?!? Please say this is the first time you have picked up that stick!
Clearly you went the grammar school. All I know about England's history is the US whooped up on them in 1776 and again this past week in London.
she does realize that she missed the ball on her drive.. right?
Why is the pitch so bad?!
NO ITS NOT
Thats not a slap !!
Please leave you tube
I thought she did good
Good effort but sorry mam , there r better professional tutorials available on RUclips .. Keep practicing pls.
Rushing, thanks for the feedback. It if you had read, this is not a “professional tutorial”. It’s a college English project.

That's not how you hit a hockey ball....
i play hockey in England, you miss should consider never playing hockey ;)
Not a slap shot its called a bunt
number 1 you have to bend much more than u are doing for the slap shot and the push pass number 2 thats not a slap shot, a slap shot is your stick sweeping the ground untill it meets the ball number with your two hands at the top number 3 thts not how you drive number 4 your hot but suck at hockey ;)
Professional Athletes, Do not attempt? It's professional to hack the girls stick and chase her afterwards? ok.
Get an astroturf and please learn how to slap and drive
Ice hockey better
hoo rah!!!
hockey on grass..... this isn't medieval times! find some astro! also wasp hockey sticks are basically mass produced school hockey sticks, rubbish sticks for an actual player.
Thats not in the proper way to drive a ball, thats why you missed it....If you can't do...dont teach.
