Grab your stick and mouthguard, run onto the pitch, and get into position, ready to show off your stick skills and teamwork passing. Offensive players hustle to push, hit, or sweep the ball into the goal while the defense channel, close down, and cover. All field hockey players know how valuable team communication, physical fitness, and mastery of basic skills translate into games won. When we protect our field hockey players, we keep this sport safe and healthy for all.
